How to complete business verification (KYB) for Remote Payment Services
To send payments through Remote Payment Services (RPS), your company must complete a one-time business verification process, also called KYB (Know Your Business). This process confirms your company’s identity and helps meet financial and anti–money laundering (AML) requirements.
Each legal entity onboarded in Remote must complete a separate verification process. You must submit the verification within the correct legal entity's profile. For example: If you have a UK legal entity and a Canadian legal entity onboarded in Remote, you need to complete verification separately for each entity.
You won't be able to send payments until verification is complete.
As a regulated payment provider, Remote is legally required to:
- Follow anti–money laundering (AML) regulations
- Confirm we’re working with legitimate businesses
- Protect your funds and help prevent fraud
All legal entities using Remote to pay employees (Global Payroll) or contractors (Contractor Management) must complete verification (KYB), regardless of where your entity is registered. Only a legal representative can complete verification (KYB). If that's not possible, a company admin can complete it by uploading a letter of authorization.
The verification process differs slightly by region. For detailed guidance for your region, see the following articles:
