← Underwriting Intelligence Layer 02 · KYB / KYC Verification

Counterparty
Risk, Verified

The data is structured, but structured isn't the same as trusted. Before an application reaches a score, KYB / KYC verification confirms the counterparty is real, compliant, and who they claim to be, in real time and against trusted sources. Nothing passes to scoring until it's been checked.

The challenge

/Manual verification is slow, and inconsistent

Due diligence done by hand doesn't scale, and every inconsistency is exposure:

  • 01Manual info validation slows deal approval cycles.
  • 02Inconsistent verification exposes risk and liability.
  • 03Scaling across portfolios is labor-intensive and error-prone.

FAQ

/KYB / KYC for equipment finance, answered

What's the difference between KYB and KYC in equipment finance? +
KYC (Know Your Customer) verifies an individual's identity; KYB (Know Your Business) verifies the business entity itself: its legal existence, registration, ownership and standing. In commercial equipment finance the counterparty is usually a business, so KYB is central, with KYC applied to guarantors and principals. Kin runs both before the credit decision.
Which verification checks does Kin run? +
Kin centralizes OFAC, Secretary of State, FMCSA SAFER (for transportation collateral), TIN verification, address validation, satellite imagery and digital-footprint checks, aggregated and validated in real time from trusted sources, all in one place.
Can verification be aligned to our credit policy? +
Yes. You can add rules aligned to your credit policy and integrate additional sources relevant to your due-diligence process, so checks are repeatable and consistent across every portfolio, with full step traceability for audits.
Where does verification sit in the underwriting sequence? +
It's Layer 2, a gate between intake and decisioning. It comes after Intake Integrity delivers clean, structured data, and runs before Risk Decisioning, so whatever enters the scoring layer has already been verified as real and compliant.
