With more than 1 million KoreID users, KoreInside expands digital identity beyond identification to KYC, KYB, KYA, KYT, and continuous governance for regulated financial markets

NEW YORK, NY – August 21, 2026 – (KOREWIRE) – KoreInside today announced the launch of KoreID, a global compliance passport designed to transform how individuals, organizations, assets and transactions are verified, authorized and governed across regulated private and capital markets.

Already supporting more than 1 million KoreID users, KoreID goes far beyond traditional digital identification.

Traditional identity systems are generally designed to answer a limited question: Who are you? In regulated financial markets, that is only the beginning. Market participants must also establish whether an individual is eligible to participate, whether an organization is legally authorized to act, whether an asset is properly defined and compliant, whether a specific transaction is permitted, and whether those conditions remain valid over time.

KoreID brings these requirements together through an integrated compliance and governance framework encompassing Know Your Customer (KYC), Know Your Business (KYB), Know Your Asset (KYA), Know Your Transaction (KYT), and continuous governance.

The architecture reflects the KoreID trust model described in the KoreInside white paper: KoreID Individual verifies people, KoreID Entity verifies organizations, KYA verifies assets, and KYT provides transaction-level assurance. Together, these layers create a transaction-grade trust framework designed for auditability, enforceability, and scale.

“Capital markets do not simply need another digital ID,” said Oscar A. Jofre, Co-founder and CEO of KoreInside. “They need infrastructure that can establish who you are, what organization you represent, what you are authorized to do, what asset is involved, whether the transaction is compliant, and whether those conditions remain valid when the transaction actually occurs. That is the purpose of KoreID. Identification is only the starting point.”

From Identity to Compliance:  KoreID is purpose-built for regulated financial markets, where identity must be connected to compliance, authority, assets and transactions.

“Capital markets infrastructure has historically treated identity, compliance, assets and transactions as separate systems,” said Dr. Kiran Garimella, Co-founder, Chief Scientist and CTO of KoreInside. “KoreID changes that architecture. It creates a persistent trust layer that connects verified individuals, verified entities, governed assets and authorized transactions within the same infrastructure. The impact is significant because compliance is no longer just an onboarding event. It can become part of the infrastructure itself, continuously evaluating identity, authority, eligibility and transaction permissions as activity occurs.”

At the individual level, KoreID Individual provides KYC, establishing the verified identity, eligibility and authority of natural persons participating in regulated transactions. KoreID Individual integrates identity verification, AML and sanctions screening, suitability determination, authentication and authorization, and verified wallet ownership into a continuously monitored financial identity passport.

At the organizational level, KoreID Entity provides KYB, establishing the verified identity, legal existence, and authority of organizations. It validates corporate status, ownership and control, authorized signatories, regulatory standing and ongoing eligibility.

For regulated market participants, this can extend to verification of the registrations and permissions associated with their specific functions. The KoreID framework, for example, contemplates verification of broker-dealers through CRD numbers and SEC registrations, transfer agents through SEC registration, and ATS operations through the appropriately licensed broker-dealers supporting them.

But KoreID does not stop with people and organizations.

Know Your Asset (KYA) establishes a verifiable and auditable identity for the asset itself.

KYA can attest to an asset’s type, class, quantity, rights, restrictions, provenance and regulatory characteristics across securities, real-world assets and digital representations. The objective is to ensure that what is being transacted is precisely defined, legally recognizable, and compliant.

This represents an important expansion of the traditional concept of identity: In a regulated transaction, knowing the buyer and seller is not enough. Market participants also need to know what is being bought, sold, issued, transferred or settled, what rights are attached to it and what restrictions govern it.

Know Your Transaction (KYT) addresses the transaction itself.

Markets do not regulate identities in isolation. They regulate transactions. The KoreID framework defines KYT as the ability to establish that a specific transaction between verified parties was authorized, compliant and enforceable when it occurred, and that the transaction can subsequently be reconstructed and defended.

KYT binds verified individuals, entities, and assets with applicable regulations, required disclosures, attestations, consent, and provable execution. It is not intended as another isolated compliance check. It is the outcome of KoreID Individual, KoreID Entity,  KYA, and KYT operating together.

This moves the compliance question from:

“Do we know who this person is?”

to:

“Was this specific transaction valid, authorized and compliant when it occurred, and can we prove it?”

Governance Is Continuous, Not a One-Time Check

A defining element of KoreID is its approach to continuous governance.

Traditional KYC and KYB processes are often concentrated around onboarding. KoreID is designed around the reality that eligibility, risk, authority, and permissions can change after onboarding.

KoreID can continuously monitor identity and compliance claims, authorize transactions and actions based on current status, and export attestations into blockchain, traditional finance and regulatory workflows.

This creates a governance model in which compliance remains connected to the individual, organization, asset and transaction throughout the relevant lifecycle.

KoreID therefore brings together five critical dimensions of market trust:

  • KYC verifies the individual and their eligibility and authority.

  • KYB verifies the organization, ownership, control and authority to transact.

  • KYA verifies and governs the asset.

  • KYT establishes transaction-level assurance.

  • Governance continuously manages permissions, eligibility, authority, risk and compliance conditions.

Together, these capabilities are designed to transform fragmented compliance processes into a continuous, transaction-grade framework for regulated markets.

One Passport Across the Capital Markets

One of KoreID’s central objectives is reusability.

Traditional compliance processes can require participants to repeatedly provide the same information as they move among issuers, broker-dealers, transfer agents, ATSs, platforms and other financial institutions.

KoreID is designed as a reusable compliance passport and trust layer that can operate across systems and jurisdictions. The white paper identifies faster onboarding, reduced duplication of identity checks, lower regulatory and operational risk, and interoperability across systems and jurisdictions among the strategic benefits of this model.

For investors and other market participants, that can mean less repetitive onboarding.

For issuers and platforms, it can mean reduced compliance friction.

For broker-dealers, ATSs, transfer agents, banks, payment rails and other regulated intermediaries, it can provide a common infrastructure for establishing who may participate, what they are authorized to do, what they may transact and whether the transaction meets the required conditions.

“For our intermediary clients, the impact of KoreID can be transformative,” said Peter Daneyko of KoreInside. “Broker-dealers, ATSs, transfer agents, banks and payment rails all need to know more than who is participating in a transaction. They need to know whether the individual or entity is eligible and authorized, whether the asset can be transacted, and whether the transaction itself meets the applicable requirements. KoreID provides a common compliance passport and governance layer that can reduce repetitive onboarding, strengthen authorization controls, and improve auditability across the transaction lifecycle. Instead of every intermediary rebuilding the same compliance picture independently, KoreID creates infrastructure for a continuously governed foundation of trust.”

Built to Work With Existing Identity Systems

KoreID is not intended to replace government IDs, commercial identity verification providers, enterprise identity systems, or blockchain identity technologies.

It is designed to work with them.

KoreID acts as a trust aggregation and enforcement layer, ingesting trusted identity signals from external systems, normalizing those signals into market-ready identity and compliance claims, continuously monitoring them, and using current status to support transaction and action authorization.

Government identity systems can provide high-assurance legal identity. Commercial KYC and KYB providers can provide verification and screening. Blockchain identities can provide cryptographic proofs and wallet-linked credentials.

KoreID is designed to bring these components into a common operational framework built specifically for regulated capital markets.

The result is an inclusive model capable of supporting traditional finance, blockchain and hybrid environments, as well as retail, accredited and institutional participants and the regulated intermediaries serving them.

From Knowing the Participant to Proving the Transaction

The launch of KoreID represents a broader vision for what identity must become within modern financial infrastructure.

A verified identity establishes who someone is.

But that alone does not establish whether that person is eligible for a particular transaction, whether the organization they represent is authorized to act, whether the asset can legally be transacted, or whether the transaction complied with applicable requirements when it occurred.

  • KoreID connects those elements.

  • KoreID Individual verifies people.

  • KoreID Entity verifies organizations.

  • KYA verifies assets.

  • KYT proves the transaction.

  • Governance keeps the framework continuously accountable.

With more than 1 million KoreID users, KoreInside is building on an established user base to advance a larger vision for digital identity: transforming identity from a static credential into a reusable, continuously governed Global Compliance Passport for the Capital Markets.
