# KYB onboarding

> Complete Know Your Business verification before you start transacting

## Overview

Before you can call the Teel API, your business completes Know Your Business (KYB) verification in the **Teel dashboard**. This is a one-time setup step. Once your KYB is approved you receive API keys scoped to the corridors you were approved for, and everything after that — recipients, quotes, payouts — happens through the API.

<Note>
  KYB is a dashboard flow, not an API flow. Partner API keys (`sk_live_…` / `sk_test_…`) are scoped to operational endpoints (recipients, quotes, payouts, webhooks) and cannot submit or query KYB. If you haven't onboarded yet, contact **[support@teel.finance](mailto:support@teel.finance)** to get started.

## How it works

* You submit your business details and documents **once**, in the dashboard.
* Teel propagates the relevant subset of your record to every payment provider whose license is needed for the corridors you requested — you don't fill out a separate form per provider.
* Different providers require different fields; the dashboard presents a single merged form that satisfies all of them.
* Each provider runs its own compliance review under its own license, so some corridors may approve before others.

## What you'll provide

The dashboard collects the information needed across your requested corridors. Typically:

* **Business details** — legal name, registration number, country of incorporation, registered address.
* **Beneficial owners / control persons** — names, ownership percentages, and identity details.
* **Supporting documents** — certificate of registration, proof of address, and others depending on your jurisdiction and corridors.

The exact fields adapt to the currencies and corridors you request — add a corridor and the form may ask for additional documents.

## Tracking approval

Approval status is shown in the dashboard. KYB is reviewed independently per corridor, so some corridors may go live before others. Once a corridor is approved it becomes routable with your API key — there's no further action required from you before you start transacting on it.

## After approval: confirm what you can route

Once your KYB clears, check the public coverage endpoint to see the live matrix of currencies, rails, directions, and amount bounds. No authentication is required:

```bash theme={null}
curl https://api.teel.finance/config/coverage
```

The coverage endpoint returns the **platform-wide** matrix; the corridors available to *your* account are the subset your KYB was approved for. See the [Coverage page](/coverage) for the full response schema.

Once you've confirmed your corridors, move on to [recipients](/guides/recipients) to start sending payouts.
