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.

Here's what you'll learn:

The different forms that business impersonation typically take and how it differs from other types of KYB or KYC fraud
Realistic strategies to address business impersonation in your end-users and the tradeoffs organizations will need to consider
How to incorporate these fraud prevention strategies into your overall KYB process without deterring end-users
