Frequently asked questions

What are the main use cases for KYA?

Toggle description visibility

Organizations can apply KYA to secure any agentic AI use case, including agentic commerce and enterprise agent deployments.

How does KYA relate to KYB and KYC?

Toggle description visibility

KYA extends KYB and KYC by verifying the individuals and businesses involved in creating and deploying an agent. This is similar to how KYB extends KYC by verifying the individuals behind a business and the business’s details.

How does KYA work?

Toggle description visibility

The technology for KYA already exists, but organizations are still figuring out how to operationalize KYA principles across agentic commerce and enterprise use cases. Reach out to partner with us on your KYA solution.

When should you verify an individual or business during the agent life cycle?

Toggle description visibility

Many businesses building agentic experiences and infrastructure verify individuals and businesses during onboarding to stop bad actors or comply with anti-money laundering laws. Beyond onboarding, KYA processes can help build or add trust during payment execution, access requests, and when capturing a user’s intent.

How is KYA related to payment protocols like Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP), Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP), and Trusted Agent Protocol (TAP)?

Toggle description visibility

Payment protocols help agents communicate with payment systems and sit within the payment execution layer for agentic commerce. KYA is a framework for identifying agents and the humans or organizations behind them as part of the identity and trust layer. These concepts focus on different layers of the agentic AI ecosystem. 

“By using Persona for KYC and KYB during onboarding, we ensure there's a verified and legitimate entity behind every account and every agent.”
