KYC status and verification timeline

This article explains how KYC status, the KYC Timeline, and center-level readiness are displayed in Zenoti Payments during Adyen onboarding. It is intended for internal teams and select customers who need a detailed view of how verification outcomes impact payment processing and payouts.

Overview

During onboarding, your business must complete the required KYC (Know Your Customer) or KYB (Know Your Business) checks. These checks confirm your business identity, decision maker information, payout bank account details, and compliance acknowledgments. The KYC status appears in the main grid and reflects the overall progress of these checks.
