# KYB
The Know Your Business (KYB) module verifies the identity and legitimacy of a business by matching the business details submitted for a session against government and commercial data sources.

:::note
This module is different than [eKYB](/features-and-modules/ekyb/).
:::

Rather than running one fixed verification, it offers the flexibility to select from the following checks and run only what a given use case needs:

- Identity
- Address
- Registration status
- Associated people
- Web presence
- Industry
- Financial risk
- Group structure

Incode routes the request to the data source that covers the selected country. This supports flexible, risk-based business verification, running and billing only the checks a decision actually requires.

## Integrations

✅ API | ✅ Web | Coming Soon: iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter

## How it works

The business details and the list of checks to run are submitted for the session.

**By default, this module:**

- Validates the submitted details against the requirements of the selected country and checks requested.
- Runs the requested checks the source supports, skipping any the source doesn’t.
- Returns the result of every check that finished, along with a `referenceId`. See the [KYB API Reference](/general-reference/kyb-api-reference).
- Sends one [`KYB_RESULTS` webhook](/general-reference/kyb-results-webhook/) once every check has finished.

**This module can also:**

- Select which checks to run per session, rather than always running a fixed set.
- Retrieve in-progress results later, by webhook or by polling with the `referenceId`.

Available checks may vary by country. See [KYB Coverage](/general-reference/kyb-coverage) for details.
