What is KYB (Know Your Business) and why it matters

Know Your Business (KYB) is a critical part of the compliance process that helps verify the identity and legitimacy of the businesses we support. It ensures a secure, trustworthy environment for payroll operations and partnership activities.

Why KYB matters

KYB is required to:

  • Comply with financial regulations

  • Reduce the risk of fraud, money laundering, and illegitimate business activity

  • Confirm that each client is a registered and verifiable entity

By verifying the legal business name and registration number, we help protect all parties involved and establish a foundation of transparency and trust.

When KYB is triggered

KYB verification is automatically triggered when you add the following to your Corfix account;:

  • You legal business name

  • Your business registration number

This real-time check allows for early detection of inconsistencies or potential compliance risks.


KYB must be fully completed before the client can run live payroll.
