Automate and secure your KYC/KYB verification processes

KYC (Know Your Customer) refers to identity verification for individuals, while KYB (Know Your Business) applies to company verification. These processes confirm that a person or business is genuinely who they claim to be, using official documents and automated verification methods.

These checks are essential to:

• Prevent identity theft and document fraud
• Comply with legal requirements related to customer due diligence (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML/CFT) regulations
• Secure online contractual and business relationships
• Protect your company from fraud, payment defaults, and reputational damage

Each verification generates a secure audit trail, supporting compliance and strengthening customer trust.

We offer four identity verification solutions, adaptable to the risk level of each use case:

• Image identity verification: automated analysis of an identity document image (ID card, passport, driver’s license) to verify document quality, type, data consistency, and authenticity.
• Video identity verification: the user presents their identity document live via their smartphone camera, enabling enhanced verification and improved detection of forged or altered documents.
• Face match identity verification: in addition to video verification, biometric comparison between the user’s live-captured face and the photo on their identity document.
• Certified Identity Verification (PVID): This is an ANSSI-certified hybrid level of verification that combines automated facial recognition checks with human review, along with additional systematic controls carried out by specialized agents.

These methods can be combined to create tailored verification workflows.

Verify offers three solutions depending on the required level of assurance:

• Bank document verification: automated analysis of a bank account statement (RIB/IBAN document) to detect forgery and extract the account holder’s name and IBAN.
• SEPAmail (individuals only): direct verification with traditional French banks to confirm that the account is active and that the declared account holder’s name matches the bank’s records.
• Open Banking (individuals and businesses): the user securely connects to their bank to confirm the existence of the account and verify ownership.

Our solution combines advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to extract, structure, and validate document data, ensuring reliable and usable information while meeting compliance requirements.

A wide range of documents can be securely verified, including:

• Personal documents (Social security card or certificate, driver’s license, proof of address, etc.)
• Company documents (Company registration document, Business status document, etc.)
• Financial documents (bank account documents, tax notices, etc.)

Verify enables automated company verification based on its registration number (e.g., SIREN/SIRET in France).

Company registry verification

Using the company registration number, Yousign queries official sources to instantly confirm:

• The company’s legal existence and status (active, dissolved, etc.)
• The identity of its legal representatives
• The registered office address
• The company’s business activity

Verified data is structured and ready to be integrated into your workflows, eliminating manual data entry and reducing errors.

In addition to identity and company checks, Verify provides sanctions and politically exposed persons (PEP) screening to strengthen your AML/CFT compliance processes.

Watchlist screening is performed against international sanctions and watchlists, enabling you to identify high-risk profiles before entering into a business relationship.
