The yes/no on a merchant takes minutes. Getting there takes three to four days.
KYB Scout compresses the research phase — site teardown, registries, ownership checks, audit-ready screenshots — to under an hour. The analyst still makes the call.
Three to four days of work before the real work starts
An experienced analyst can read a merchant and know in minutes. The file that gets them there takes days.
Ten tabs open. The registry in one, the merchant's own site in six more because the application rarely matches what the site sells. Pulling documents from five different places. Starting from a blank page every time.
By the time the file is assembled, the judgment — the part that required the analyst — gets whatever attention is left.
The next analyst who opens a case builds it differently. The inconsistency compounds.
The human cost: pulling evidence from five disconnected sources, starting from a blank document every time. By the point judgment is finally needed, the analyst's attention is already spent.

Verification tools don't solve a research problem
Sumsub tells you the director exists. World-Check tells you he's not sanctioned.
Neither tells you what the business actually is, what it sells, and where it ships — with proof attached. That's the three to four days. That's the phase no tool has claimed.
KYB Scout does the research. Your team does the analysis.
One input. A structured pack in under an hour.
Drop in the merchant URL
No document upload required to start. KYC documents feed in too, if you have them.
Crawl & cross-reference
The merchant's site, public registries, sanctions and adverse-media sources, ownership records.
Structured pack assembly
Business model, products, geographies, ownership signals, risk indicators — every fact linked to its source.
Your analyst decides
KYB Scout never scores the merchant or recommends approve or decline. That call stays with your team.
What it will never do
These are not features. They are the constraints the product was built backwards from.
No risk score
No approve/decline recommendation, ever.
No unsourced facts
Every extracted line links to a registry page, screenshot, or document.
No shared infrastructure
Each pilot is a dedicated deployment scoped to your data policy.
No training on your data
Merchant information is never used to train a general model.
No inconsistency
Same structure back, regardless of which analyst runs it.
No generic KYB
Built for iGaming, crypto, forex — not standard SaaS onboarding.
Questions worth asking any tool that claims to solve this
If a tool can't show its work, the file it produces can't be defended at exam time.
The accountable person and the deciding person should be the same person.
Most tools handle verification. The 3–4 day phase is research and structuring — a different problem entirely.
Concentration risk and data portability are exam questions now, not future concerns.
Inconsistent files are what turn a routine audit into a long one.
Most tools pass two of these.
Built for analysts and compliance leadership
Analysis, not archaeology
The research arrives assembled. The analyst verifies and decides.
Consistent structure across every file means less rework, a cleaner audit trail, and a portfolio of defensible cases that speaks for itself.
Defensible eighteen months from now
Standardized, source-linked files from day one. Something you can put in front of a regulator without rebuilding the file from scratch.
Onboard at the volume sales needs without lowering the standard compliance requires.
See it against a file your team already built
Send the URL of a merchant you have already onboarded. KYB Scout sends back the pack. Put it next to what your analyst built and decide which one you would rather defend three months from now.
If it is not better, this is not the right fit yet — no follow-up sequence, no hard sell.
Built inside a live high-risk PSP. Deployed on yours.
KYB Scout was built inside a live high-risk PSP's compliance workflow — by people who watched the research phase absorb three to four days of analyst time per merchant, and compressed it to under an hour internally.
Each pilot ships as a dedicated deployment scoped to the client's infrastructure and data policy. Merchant data is never used to train a model. It does not leave the client's control without explicit sign-off.
Twenty minutes on a real merchant tells you whether the math works.
If your team onboards merchants regularly into high-risk verticals, a short walkthrough on an actual case will tell you more than any demo.
