Simplify Business Verification with PearCheck

Know Your Business (KYB) is a due diligence process designed to verify the legitimacy, ownership, and operations of a company. It is a crucial component of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) compliance frameworks, mandated by international regulatory bodies such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and regional EU Directives. Various national regulations also require businesses to conduct KYB checks to prevent fraud, financial crimes, and illicit activities. Manually verifying businesses can be time-consuming and prone to errors. PearCheck automates the most complex aspects of KYB, reducing risk and ensuring compliance while enabling businesses to operate globally across 280+ countries.
