What is KYB?

KYB stands for ‘Know Your Business’, and this Compliance Process helps Avinode verify and validate members and their organizations.

Through this process we look to ensure that members meet legal and compliance requirements. We will ask you for information to enable us to (1) verify that your business legally exists, (2) understand your corporate structure, and (3) identify and verify who controls and owns your business. You will need to provide information and documents about the following:

  • The Company’s legal registration and certificate
  • Ownership structure, individual owners and copies of their IDs
  • Registered directors and copies of their IDs
  • Bank account and a bank statement dated within the last 3 months (this is optional for some countries)

Please note that all information provided is completely secure and will only be viewed by those parties necessary for the verification and approval process.

Why KYB?

The KYB process is one part of our member application process and ensures that a company is legit and follows the compliance requirements needed to make transactions with our integrated payment solution. Our aim is to create more trust and confidence between the members of our professional network. To achieve this we need to put verifications in place that ensure the company meets these standards.
