Prove and Baselayer partner to bring real-time business verification to ProveX. Prove and Baselayer simplify business verification by combining trusted identity, real-time KYB intelligence, and seamless onboarding into a single workflow without requiring additional verification steps. June 24, 2026 Alyse Belavic Key takeaways. ProveX and Baselayer enable real-time business verification and KYB in a single workflow, allowing organizations to verify both the individual and the business without requiring additional verification steps. By combining Prove Pre-Fill(R) for Business with Baselayer's business intelligence network, organizations can accelerate onboarding, reduce friction for legitimate businesses, and make faster compliance and risk decisions. The integration helps financial institutions, fintechs, marketplaces, and digital platforms reduce manual reviews by delivering trusted business verification, ownership context, and risk signals directly within ProveX. Business onboarding has become a balancing act between fraud prevention and customer experience. Organizations need to verify businesses, ownership structures, and risk exposure before approving an application. Yet, the data required to make those decisions is often fragmented across multiple sources. The result is onboarding processes that rely heavily on manual reviews, which creates delays for legitimate businesses while increasing operational costs for risk and compliance teams. In a market where faster onboarding is a competitive advantage, many organizations are still forced to choose between speed and confidence. Today, prove.com is announcing a partnership designed to eliminate that tradeoff. Prove and Baselayer have entered a strategic partnership to bring real-time business verification, entity resolution, and fraud intelligence directly into the ProveX digital trust exchange. Businesses globally lose an average of 7.7% of annual revenue to fraud, representing an estimated $534 billion in losses. Traditional business verification processes built on fragmented data sources and manual reviews simply can't keep pace with today's threat landscape. One onboarding flow, multiple trust decisions. Traditionally, organizations have had to treat identity verification and business verification as separate workflows. First, you verify the individual behind the application. Then, once you've established who that person is, you start a separate KYB process to determine whether the business itself is legitimate and compliant. That approach creates unnecessary friction. It often requires multiple vendors, multiple API calls, and additional verification steps that slow down onboarding and complicate implementation. With ProveX, the experience is much simpler. Prove Pre-Fill(R) for Business helps establish trust in the applicant during onboarding. Once that trust has been established, organizations can instantly retrieve business verification and KYB intelligence from Baselayer through ProveX without forcing the applicant through another verification workflow. In a single experience, organizations can answer two critical questions: * Is this person associated with this business? * Is this a business prove.com should do business with? Instead of orchestrating separate identity and KYB processes, customers get the signals they need to make both decisions at the same time. Why KYB has been broken. Business information tends to be fragmented across multiple registries, vendors, and third-party sources, and it's rarely clean. Records can be outdated, fields are often missing, and the same business might show up in slightly different forms depending on where you're looking. U.S. business formation has grown 53% over the last decade... ...creating new opportunities for innovation and new challenges for fraud prevention. As more businesses onboard digitally, organizations need faster ways to verify legitimacy, ownership, and control. Linking a business to real people introduces another layer of complexity. Ownership structures aren't always transparent, and the data connecting individuals to businesses is often incomplete or inconsistent. The result is that many KYB flows end up relying heavily on manual review, a costly, time consuming bottleneck right where you're trying to move legitimate customers through quickly. Derek Lanni VP, Acquisition Fraud Strategy at Synchrony explains it this way: "Organizations must balance new fraud threats, compliance requirements and customer expectations, all of which makes business onboarding more complex. The ability to quickly establish trust while maintaining confidence in the legitimacy of businesses and the individuals behind them, has become critical for financial institutions and all digital businesses." A unified approach to business identity verification. The flow starts with whatever applicant attributes you already collect, namely, a phone number. Prove Pre-Fill(R) for Business helps connect the applicant to the business they represent and automatically populates known business attributes, reducing application friction and minimizing the information users need to enter manually. Once the application is enriched, ProveX orchestrates the KYB process using Baselayer's business identity network to resolve inputs into a single authoritative business record and verify the legitimacy, ownership, and operational status of the entity in real time. The output is a structured set of signals you can act on immediately: verified business attributes, clearer visibility into ownership and associated individuals, and confidence or risk indicators that help guide your decisioning, all inline within the onboarding flow. KYB Was Never Built To Be a Single System There is no centralized U.S. beneficial ownership database. Instead, organizations must navigate 50 fragmented state registries, inconsistent business records, and opaque ownership structures. Building the next generation of business trust. This integration provides several advantages for teams building onboarding and risk systems: * Instant KYB + KYC in a single API call. * Real-time risk assessment at the point of application, with structured signals returned at the moment of decision. * Access to business intelligence from Baselayer, one of the most comprehensive and continuously updated business identity networks in the U.S., helping reduce false positives, improve entity resolution, and avoid decisions based on stale or incomplete records. Impact and value for the agentic era. From an engineering perspective, the biggest impact of this integration is how much complexity it removes from the identity stack. Instead of stitching together multiple vendors for KYB, KYC, and data enrichment and writing the glue code to make them work together, organizations get a more unified pipeline inside ProveX. It means fewer integrations to manage, fewer edge cases between systems, and less time maintaining brittle workflows. KYB has historically been a patchwork of APIs, data vendors, and manual interventions. This partnership will change that by unifying data, making signals consistent, and enabling decisions in real time. Both Prove and Baselayer were recognized in Liminal's 2025 Business and Entity Verification Report as among the top 20 leaders shaping the future of KYB.

Know Your Business (KYB) is the process organizations use to verify that a business is legitimate before establishing a relationship, opening an account, extending credit, or enabling transactions. A modern KYB process typically includes business verification, beneficial ownership verification, sanctions screening, and risk assessment to help prevent fraud and satisfy regulatory requirements. What is the difference between KYB and KYC? How does real-time business verification improve onboarding? How do Prove and Baselayer work together? Alyse Belavic
