eKYB (Know Your Business) via document upload allows you to verify the legitimacy of a business entity by collecting and analyzing their corporate documents. Instead of relying solely on database lookups like CAC or TIN, this method lets you validate documents directly from the business. Dojah’s eKYB engine extracts and cross-checks submitted document data, such as business name, RC number, type, and date of registration, against trusted government or regulatory records. This method is ideal for onboarding businesses where lookups may be insufficient or incomplete.

How It Works

1

Document Upload

Users submit official documents such as:
  • CAC certificate
  • Proof of business address (e.g., utility bill)
  • Optional: other corporate identifiers or tax documents
These can be set from the EasyOnboard configuration.
2

Document Parsing

The system uses OCR and AI to:
  • Extract business name, RC number, type, and registration date
  • Normalize and structure the data
  • Check for file quality, clarity, and forgery indicators
3

Verification & Match

The extracted data is:
  • Automatically matched against known CAC structures or cross-validated with other verification steps (e.g., TIN)
  • Flagged for review if mismatches or incomplete data are detected
  • Returned with status labels

​
When to Use

  • The business does not have an RC number yet or is recently registered
  • You need to collect multiple documents for compliance review
  • You want to consolidate CAC, TIN, and address checks into a single flow
