In today’s increasingly interconnected global economy, businesses face a growing number of fraud risks. According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, companies lose an estimated 5% of their revenue to fraud annually—totaling over $4.7 trillion. Furthermore, a PwC survey found that 47% of organizations have experienced fraud in the last two years. With fraud on the rise, and regulatory scrutiny intensifying, companies need advanced business verification methods to safeguard themselves. Authenticate®'s Know Your Business (KYB) Service is an innovative solution designed to meet these evolving demands.

Why Advanced Business Verification is Essential

Traditional business verification methods are increasingly ineffective in identifying sophisticated fraud schemes. From shell companies to complex money laundering networks, the tactics used by bad actors are becoming more advanced. In response, regulatory bodies worldwide are imposing stricter compliance requirements, with hefty penalties for non-compliance. In 2020 alone, global financial institutions paid over $10 billion in fines for Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) violations. To mitigate risks and avoid these penalties, businesses must implement robust Know Your Business (KYB) systems.
