About the free webinar series
As fraud fighters, impersonation during KYC is well-recognized, but what about business impersonation during the KYB process? This type of business fraud can be both more insidious and more harmful to your platform than typical KYC fraud, thanks to publicly available business information, opaque ownership structures, and larger risk tolerances during business onboarding
Fighting business impersonation isn’t just a matter of adding more verifications to your business flow. Instead, platforms need to adopt a nuanced approach and look at additional signals to help address this kind of fraud without scaring away SMBs or enterprises. Join this webinar to dig into business impersonation and other common types of business fraud that platforms and fintechs are facing. Get insights from KYB veterans on how to strengthen your defenses while onboarding the right customers.
