KYB Screening
How KYB Screening checks a KYB screening
Quick answer. KYB screening is the repeatable check: confirm the entity in the state file, screen names against sanctions lists, and read adverse media as news. Each result keeps its own label. A clear state status does not clear a sanctions question.
Three results, three labels
AML screening for a business often means this stack plus whatever your policy adds for PEPs. The state file answers “does this LLC exist.” OFAC answers “is this name on a list today.” Adverse media answers “what have credible outlets reported.” Mixing those sentences produces false comfort.
Refresh matters. A screening dated last year does not describe today’s SDN file or today’s status. Write the date next to each source. If the legal name changed, screen both strings.
