KYC Integration

Integrate KYC identity verification for beneficial owners within iDenfy KYB business verification using combined all-in-one API flows.

It is possible to have an all-in-one solution for Business verification and Identity verification services. Depending on the specific integration and required use cases, the following approaches are available.

Business Verification First Approach

Create a company and afterward:

• Create and send a new Identity verification token via the dashboard.
• Set up custom rule automation for the Identity verification Token, which will automatically send a new link to the related subjects of the Business verification form.
• Create verification via API or dashboard and once verification is done, add a new beneficiary via API using the scanRef of completed Identity verification.

Identity Verification First Approach

Alternatively, you can onboard and perform Identity verifications first and then manage the Business verification form. In this case, make sure that the Identity verifications are completed:

• Gather verification scanRef numbers and include them when creating a new Business verification session.
• Add a new beneficiary via API (see beneficiaries) using the existing Identity verification scanRef.

The iDenfy recommended approach is to use Identity verification Token automation or create a new beneficiary via API.

It is also possible to use both services separately and add a new beneficiary via API or dashboard depending on integration requirements.

Reusing an Identity Verification Across Companies

The same scanRef can be linked to a person’s role (Director, Representative, or Beneficial Owner) on more than one company. There’s no limit on how many companies can reference the same scanRef, so someone who sits on several company structures only needs to complete identity verification once. This works identically via API and via the dashboard.

A scanRef can be supplied when creating a company, when creating a token (see scanRefs), or added later to an existing Director, Beneficiary, or Representative from the Company Details page.
