# KYC/KYB

> Customer verification and compliance in Grid

Grid provides a streamlined KYC (Know Your Customer) and KYB (Know Your Business) verification process to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

## Verification Flow

The KYC/KYB process is a direct operation that doesn't require intents, as it's an incoming operation to establish the account's compliance status.

## Verification Status

The verification process can result in one of these statuses:

* `pending`: Verification in progress
* `active`: Verification completed successfully
* `rejected`: Verification failed

## Checking Status

You can check the verification status at any time:

```bash theme={null}
GET /smart-accounts/{address}/kyc/{kyc_id}
```
