Verify your business (KYB)

1 min read · Updated Jun 2026

Business verification (KYB) is a one-time identity check that unlocks the ability to pay. Persona reviews your company details, registration, website, and incorporation documents. Have a valid ID and a smartphone ready; review usually takes 24–48 hours.

Before you can pay contractors or run payroll, your company must pass a one-time business verification — also called KYB (Know Your Business). It’s handled securely through our verification partner, Persona (see Persona’s privacy policy).

What gets verified

Persona reviews your company’s identity and incorporation documents:

  • Company details — your legal business information
  • Business registration — your registration / tax ID number
  • Website — your company’s online presence
  • Articles of incorporation
  • Board resolution or secretary certificate
  • Corporate officer list

Before you start

  • A valid, undamaged, unexpired identity document
  • A smartphone to complete the document capture
  • Your company’s tax ID / registration number and ownership details
  • Your incorporation documents (articles of incorporation, board resolution or secretary certificate, corporate officer list)

Verify your business

  1. Open Company → Verification, or reach the Business verification step in onboarding.
  2. On "Let’s get you verified", scan the QR code with your smartphone — or choose Continue with your current device.
  3. Follow the steps to capture your document and confirm your details.

What happens next

  • Under review — "Your business is on its way for approval!" Review typically takes 24–48 hours.
  • Approved — "Your business is approved!" You can now make payments.
  • Rejected — "Verification was unsuccessful." Fix the flagged details and resubmit.

Warning: Payments stay blocked until your status is Approved. You can resubmit verification up to 3 times — if it keeps failing, use Contact Support.

Status on your dashboard

Your Company overview shows a banner that reflects your current status:

  • Not verified → "Verify your business account"
  • Pending → "Finish your verification"
  • Under review → "Verification under review" (24–48h)
  • Rejected → "Verification was not approved" → "Update & resubmit"
