A common operational label for identifying and understanding a business customer.
What the term does and does not tell you
A provider’s process can cover identity, ownership, activity, authority and expected flows. The documents and checks depend on the entity, jurisdiction and provider. KYB is not a universal checklist with a guaranteed result.
Use it in the working file
Record the actual entity, asset, service and date alongside the term. A label alone is not an eligibility decision or a complete description of legal rights.
