Hero Background

The KYB Efficiency Gap

Within regulated payments and B2B fintech, including merchant acquiring, payment service providers, business lenders, and banks, KYB is a core control point within the merchant onboarding process, determining whether a business can be approved, activated, and monitored over time.

At scale, business verification remains one of the major friction points in digital onboarding. While consumer Know Your Customer (KYC) automation has improved significantly with the adoption of biometrics, Know Your Business (KYB) processes still rely heavily on manual checks, fragmented registries, and exception-driven reviews that slow time to revenue and increase abandonment.

OnBoard by MVSI is an end-to-end merchant onboarding and compliance platform that acts as the orchestration layer between rigid regulatory requirements and operational need for speed. By automating business data collection, ownership and UBO analysis, and risk assessment, OnBoard helps enterprises transform KYB processes from a manual bottleneck into a management-by-exception model. Low-risk entities are processed quickly, while compliance teams retain full control and focus only where human judgement is required.

Why Manual KYB is Failing Your Growth Strategy

Reliance on manual data entry and human-led registry searches is no longer a viable scaling strategy. The hidden costs of manual KYB are stalling global expansion for three primary reasons:

Abstract data blocks with a warning icon indicating data risk or alert.

The Fragmentation of 10,000 Plus Data Silos

Corporate registries vary widely in data structure. Manually navigating these silos leads to inconsistent risk profiles and high error rates. OnBoard solves this by unifying thousands of global corporate and regulatory data sources across virtually every major jurisdiction into a single API-driven response.

User profiles and documents with a warning icon indicating identity or verification risk.

The UBO Complexity Trap

Identifying Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs) is one of the most significant bottlenecks. While manual untangling of trusts and partnerships can take hours, OnBoard auto-mapping tool identifies significant controllers and shareholders in seconds, not hours.

Multiple user profiles with warning icons indicating potential risk or missing verification.

Accelerated Merchant Abandonment

Every hour a merchant spends in a pending queue is an opportunity to churn. Friction is not just a compliance necessity; it is a revenue leak.
