Onboarding & KYB

Know which businesses you can trust.

Enigma verifies US businesses against independent, hard-to-fake evidence, so you approve more of the real ones and catch the ones that only look real on paper.

Enigma production data, 2026

One endpoint, two products

Approve more, and prove more.

Identify

Common in marketplaces, programmatic onboarding, and high-volume sign-up flows.

Confirms a business is real, not merely registered. Built for coverage and approval rate where volume is the constraint and a human review queue is not an option.

Verify

For decisions that have to stand up to a regulator, where the detail is table stakes.

Adds the full Secretary of State record and the corporate structure behind it, with source-linked evidence a reviewer can follow back to the filing.

A business can file its own registration.

It cannot process its own card transactions, write its own review history, or place itself in someone else’s government filing. Evidence is graded by how little control the applicant has over it, and every match carries its tier.

Verification tiers

Evidence graded low to high

HIGHMODERATELOW

A business can fake a record. It cannot fake agreement.

Every tier answers the same question — is this business real — with evidence the applicant has progressively less control over. The top tier is not more data. It is data that agrees.
