Know Your Business (KYB) checks allow you to verify the legitimacy of a business and its directors. Checks are available as a pay-as-you-go service at £30 per check (inc. VAT) with no minimum or maximum spend. To run checks as a verified business - with the ability to add employees and send verified business requests - you’ll need to set up an organisation verified with the identity of a named director on the Dun & Bradstreet global business database. This is a non-technical option requiring no integration. If you’d prefer to integrate directly with your company’s systems, visit the Nuggets accounts portal developer section. Before You Begin
To use Nuggets, you’ll need to download the mobile app and register with your photo ID before you can log in. App setup involves an identity verification process, including a government-issued ID and a biometric and liveness check. Full details can be found in the Identity Wallet Setup guide. Logging In
Once your app and profile are ready, go to the accounts portal and hit Login. You’ll be shown a screen with a QR code - scan this using your Nuggets app or press the “VERIFY IN NUGGETS APP” button if you’re on a mobile device.

Setting Up Your Organisation
Once logged in, click on the dropdown menu set to ‘Personal’ and select Create Organisation. Follow the on-screen steps to complete setup. Note that a named director of the business is required to create an organisation. Setting up an organisation lets you add employees and send requests as a verified business.

Adding Employees
To add employees to your organisation, go to the Employees section in the side menu and hit Invite. Enter the email address(es) of the people you’d like to add and hit Submit. When inviting someone, you can assign them either an Employee or Admin role - admins can invite additional users to the organisation. Once an employee has been added, they’ll need to share their profile with the organisation before their name will be visible to you as the org manager. Until they do this, their entry will appear without a name in the Employees list.

Adding Funds
Before running any checks, top up your account balance. To do this, you’ll first need to add a payment card to your Nuggets app - the card must be in the same name as the photo ID used during identity verification. For this reason, the named director should add funds initially. Once other team members have been added as employees, they can add funds too. Hit Top up balance in the portal and specify the amount you’d like to add.
