Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between KYC and KYB?
KYC verifies individuals through document checks, biometrics, and liveness detection. KYB verifies legal entities through company validation, UBO chains, director screening, and sanctions checks. Be1B handles both in one module.
How fast is the average verification?
Individual KYC completes in under two minutes for standard documents. KYB timing depends on ownership complexity, while straightforward businesses are typically verified within minutes.
What documents are supported?
Be1B supports 195+ countries and document types including passports, national IDs, driving licences, and residence permits. NFC chip reading is available for supported ePassports.
Can we embed this in our app with our own branding?
Yes. API integration is fully white-label with no Be1B branding in your customer flow. You can also launch quickly using Be1B hosted verification flow.
What is perpetual KYC and do we need it?
Perpetual KYC means profiles are continuously re-screened after onboarding against sanctions, PEP, and adverse media updates. Regulators increasingly expect ongoing monitoring, not one-time checks.
How does the risk scoring work?
An automated risk score is generated from document quality, geographic exposure, PEP and sanctions signals, and behavioral indicators. Rules and review triggers are fully configurable.
Is our customer data stored in the EU?
Yes. Verification data is stored in EU data centers under GDPR requirements, with configurable retention policies and right-to-erasure workflows.
