Seamless onboarding is critical to building trust with new clients, providing the foundation of a solid relationship. But in a digital-first world, clients expect non-face-to-face meetings for their health and well-being.

Corporate KYC, also known as Know-Your-Business (KYB), has become a critical process in determining high-risk corporate clients and learning where organizations can take steps to mitigate any potential fraud or illicit activity from impacting their bottom line.

From receiving company documents to verifying ultimate beneficial owners, how can you be sure that your screening and onboarding processes are properly screening for all risk factors while continuing to build a relationship of trust with your corporate clients?
