# KYB

**Know Your Business (KYB)** is a verification process that confirms the authenticity and legitimacy of your business entity. This process verifies that your company is:

* Legally registered and operating.
* Compliant with regulatory requirements.
* Protected against corporate fraud and illegal activities.

**KYB verification is mandatory** to access B2BINPAY production environment and begin processing real transactions.

B2BINPAY uses [Sumsub](https://sumsub.com/) as our trusted KYB verification provider to ensure secure and compliant business verification.

#### Key points

* Until KYB verification is completed, you can only use the Sandbox environment.
* Verification must be renewed periodically to maintain compliance.
* You'll see a red notification badge on the KYB menu item when:
  * KYB verification hasn't been initiated yet.
  * Additional documents are requested by the verification provider.
