Onboarding with KYC and KYB in under a minute

Client onboarding the traditional way: days of lines, paper, and branches. The way we built it: under a minute.

QR code, document, and facial biometrics straight on the client’s phone, with the company’s brand on every screen. The flow image is real, running at Tech86. No line, no paper, no branch.

Why onboarding is the hidden bottleneck

Every day between the client’s intent and account validation is silent churn: the intent cools, the competitor approves first, and the unfinished registration becomes rework cost. Traditional onboarding (lines, paper, branches) was designed for risk, not for the client.

The digital design does not choose between risk and experience: it uses facial biometrics as the proof paper never was. Comparing the face with the document eliminates identity fraud and accelerates registration at once, with LGPD explicit at every step.

KYB is the part separating serious from improvised

For individuals, KYC solves it. For companies, KYB is where most solutions deliver half: they validate the CNPJ and ignore the structure.

The KYB we close validates the ownership structure, maps the final beneficiary (who stands behind the company), and keeps LGPD compliance end to end. Without KYB, PJ onboarding is an automation facade with regulatory risk underneath: data-subject data is what the ANPD enforces, and an unmapped final beneficiary is exactly what enforcement looks for.

What the flow looks like in practice

The client scans the QR code at the point of interest, opens the flow in their phone’s own browser (no app install), presents the document, does the facial biometrics, and receives validation in under a minute. The company’s brand appears on every screen, and the data enters your registration process already validated.

For PJ, the KYB layer runs in sequence: ownership structure, final beneficiary, and compliance, with no paper. The integration sits in your registration, and the whole flow lives on the client’s phone.

Conclusion

Good clients do not wait for process. The phrase summarizes the whole use case: identity validation exists to protect the operation, but it became the filter expelling good clients along with bad ones.

The design that solves it shortens validation to under a minute and deepens verification to the ownership level: fast KYC up front, complete KYB behind, LGPD in everything. If your onboarding still depends on lines and paper, the missing conversion is hiding there.

Frequently Asked Questions

KYC (Know Your Customer) is the natural-person client’s identity validation: document, facial biometrics, and proof of life. KYB (Know Your Business) is the company validation: ownership structure, final beneficiary, and possession structure. Complete onboarding for fintechs and platforms needs both, and that is where most improvise.

The traditional path: days of lines, paper, and branches. With the digital flow (QR code, document, and facial biometrics straight on the client’s phone), under a minute. The difference is not only experience: it is registration conversion, because every day between intent and validation loses clients.

The validated ownership structure, the mapped final beneficiary (who stands behind the company), and end-to-end LGPD compliance in the flow. It is the part separating those who improvise from those who deliver: KYC without KYB validates the face and leaves the company’s structure unverified.

Not with transparency: the client understands proof of life protects their account. What scares is collection without explanation. State what is collected, for how long, and who accesses it, with clear consent in the flow: the under-a-minute experience with explicit LGPD converts better than the days-long traditional form.

No. The flow runs in the client’s phone browser, triggered by a QR code: nothing to install, with the company’s brand on every screen. The integration sits in your registration process, and validation happens where the client already is.
