# Verification and Compliance

> Learn how KryptaPay uses KYB and KYC verification to provide secure, transparent, and trusted payment services.

# Verification and Compliance

At KryptaPay, trust and transparency are fundamental to our payment infrastructure.

To protect our customers, payment partners, and end users, access to our payment services requires completion of appropriate **Know Your Business (KYB)** and **Know Your Customer (KYC)** verification processes.

These verification steps help us ensure that every participant in our ecosystem is properly identified, authorized, and compliant with applicable regulations.

***

## Why Verification Matters

Payments require trust between multiple parties:

* Businesses collecting payments.
* Customers sending funds.
* Payment providers processing transactions.
* Financial institutions enabling settlements.

By verifying accounts before enabling payment services, KryptaPay helps:

* Reduce fraud and unauthorized activity.
* Protect businesses and customers.
* Maintain reliable payment networks.
* Meet regulatory and compliance requirements.
* Provide transparency across the payment lifecycle.

***

## Business Verification (KYB)

**Know Your Business (KYB)** verification is required for companies and organizations using KryptaPay for commercial payment activities.

During KYB verification, we may collect and verify information such as:

* Legal business name.
* Registration documents.
* Business registration number.
* Tax identification information.
* Business address.
* Ownership structure.
* Directors and authorized representatives.
* Expected payment activity.

The verification process allows KryptaPay to confirm that the business is legitimate and authorized to use our services.

## Customer Verification (KYC)

**Know Your Customer (KYC)** verification applies to individuals using payment services where identity verification is required.

Depending on the payment flow and regulatory requirements, KYC may include:

* Full legal name.
* Date of birth.
* Phone number or email address.
* Government-issued identification document.
* Proof of address.
* Additional verification information when required.

KYC requirements may vary depending on the country, payment method, transaction limits, and regulatory obligations.

KryptaPay services are enabled after successful completion of the required verification process.

The activation process typically follows:

## Secure Handling of Information
