Corporate client onboarding for brokers and capital markets firms.
Brokers and capital markets firms onboard companies as well as people: corporate accounts, introducing brokers, liquidity providers and the funds and holding companies that trade through them. KYCK handles the corporate side, verifying the entity, mapping its owners and screening everyone in the chain, with approvals and an audit trail your regulator can follow.

Corporate accounts, verified properly
A corporate account needs more than a name and a registration number. KYCK collects the registration documents, the shareholder structure and the authorised signatories through a self-serve portal, extracts the data and maps ownership to the beneficial owners.
PEP and RCA on the people that matter
Politically exposed persons, and their relatives and close associates, are checked on the same pass as sanctions and adverse media, across directors, shareholders and beneficial owners. Matches carry the person's role and jurisdiction, so enhanced due diligence lands where the law expects it.
Introducers and counterparties too
Introducing brokers, liquidity providers and other firms you rely on are counterparties with their own ownership and sanctions exposure. They go through the same KYB flow, so your third-party file is as complete as your client file.
Account opening over the API
Firms that open accounts from their own systems can call the KYCK KYB API to create counterparties, run screenings and fetch the evidence, with webhooks when a result needs review. The API never auto-approves what your policy says a person should see.
Individuals and companies, each with the right tool
Retail and individual clients need identity verification with document checks and liveness, which consumer identity platforms do well. KYCK is built for the corporate side: entities, ownership and the people behind them. Many firms run both, and our KYB vs KYC guide explains where the line sits.
What your regulator will ask
Supervisors in the UAE, the UK and the EU expect firms to identify corporate clients and their beneficial owners, apply enhanced due diligence where risk is higher, and evidence each decision. KYCK records the lists and list versions checked, the match reasoning, the reviewer and the approval, and exports the file as a disclosure package.
Frequently asked questions
Can KYCK onboard individual retail clients?
KYCK screens individuals by name, including the directors and owners behind a corporate account, but it is not a selfie and liveness identity verification tool. For high-volume retail onboarding, pair it with a consumer identity platform.
Does KYCK screen for PEPs and their relatives?
Yes. PEP screening covers politically exposed persons and their relatives and close associates, and runs on the company's directors, shareholders and beneficial owners on the same pass as sanctions and adverse media.
Can account opening run through the API?
Yes. The KYB API creates counterparties, runs screenings and returns structured match data and evidence, with webhooks on status changes. It is included on the Professional and Enterprise plans.
How are approvals handled?
Through approval tiers you configure, in the order you set. Each decision is recorded with the approver, the time and their comment, and an administrator override is marked as such and needs a written reason.
