KYC, KYB & CDD guide

KYC, KYB and customer due diligence provide the evidence needed to understand who a customer is, how a business is owned and what level of risk requires further review. A practical onboarding process combines reliable identity and company information with proportionate screening, beneficial-ownership analysis and documented decisions. It must also make clear when standard due diligence is not enough and enhanced measures or escalation are required. This guide collects existing Checklynx resources on KYC, CDD and EDD, ultimate beneficial ownership and AML considerations for startups. Use it to map the foundational questions, evidence and review points that support a risk-based onboarding workflow for people and businesses.
