KYB cases

Overview

The KYB (Know Your Business) case type provides a place for you to review the KYB outcome for any business customers that are not automatically accepted by your KYB system. Anytime a business customer is run through KYB, the outcome will be checked against the configured rules, and if any of the rules are hit, the system will automatically create a new KYB case for review and investigation.

When to use the KYB case type

The KYB case type will be automatically created by the system anytime KYB is run on a business and the business hits a rule configured to put KYB into any status other than "Accepted." This can be caused by the business itself hitting a rule, or a person related to the business hitting a KYC rule. Your team will need to review these cases and decide whether to set the final KYB outcome for the business to "Accepted" or "Rejected." All actions and decisions made on the case will be made by your team. These actions and decisions will be viewable by your bank partner for oversight purposes.

While the KYB case for a business is under review, the business will not be able to perform any transactions.

To help decision KYB cases, users of Synctera Cases may need to reach out to the business or to related people to gather further documentation, or review other available sources for corroborating information to make a decision.

Reviewing and decisioning cases

Move case into Review

This allows a user to move the case out of the New state so that it is clear to other case reviewers that the case has been initially viewed and is actively under review, even if a final decision is yet to be made. This can be useful in differentiating between new cases that have just been opened and cases that have had a first look or review and are awaiting further input or information before making a final decision.

Fail case

Take this action when it has been determined that the business cannot be verified, or it has been confirmed that they are not a valid business or are attempting to commit fraud. Or take this action when an Owner or Beneficial Owner cannot be verified and thus the business cannot open accounts. This will change the business verification status to ‘Rejected’ and the business will not be able to transact.

Pass case

Take this action when it has been determined that the business is real and all their information and the information of individuals related to the business can be verified. This will change the business verification status to "Accepted" and the business will be allowed to open accounts and transact.

Re-run KYB

Take this action if information about the business or any related individuals has materially changed between when the case was created and when the case went under review. This will run KYB on the business again, and if information about the business has changed, may result in a different outcome.

Freeze business

Take this action to freeze the business and prevent them from performing any actions or making any transactions.
