Questions about running quick screenings, company and individual checks, screening steps, adverse media, web checks and the difference between one-off screening and monitored entities.
Yes. Kyboa supports individual screening for KYC workflows and company screening for KYB workflows. Company screenings can also include related people, such as directors, officers, shareholders or beneficial owners where that information is available or manually maintained.
No. Kyboa provides screening results, risk indicators, confidence context and reports to support your review process. Your team remains responsible for the final onboarding, escalation or rejection decision under your own compliance policy.
Yes. Kyboa performs adverse media discovery using public news and web search, then presents relevant results for review. These checks help surface useful context, but they do not replace a full investigation or legal due diligence process.
Risk ratings are calculated using deterministic rules based on active screening signals such as sanctions or watchlist candidates, PEP context and adverse media results. The rating is designed to support review, not to make a legal determination.
No. The adverse media and web background checks are discovery tools that search public news and web results for review. They are designed to save time and create a repeatable audit record, not to guarantee that every relevant article, court record or regulatory notice has been found.
Kyboa compares the screening subject against global sanctions, PEP and watchlist data using structured name and identifier matching. Returned candidates are treated as potential matches for review, not automatic confirmations.
A screening can be run for an individual or a company. It includes sanctions, PEP and watchlist screening, adverse media discovery, web background discovery, a structured risk and confidence result, and an audit-ready report.
The background summary is generated from screening and discovery outputs already collected during the screening process. It is intended to summarise available context in neutral language and does not replace manual review of the underlying sources.
A quick screening is a standalone one-off check. An entity screening is launched from a maintained company or individual record, so it can use saved names, related people and screening history, and can support ongoing monitoring.
Use a quick screening when you need to check a name once and do not need to maintain a long-term client record, such as screening prospective customers at the enquiry stage. For ongoing customers, counterparties or monitored relationships, create an entity so future screenings and monitoring stay linked to the same record.
