Why Identify Entity?

KYC - Identification

Before invoices can be processed, the entity must first be properly identified. This identification step confirms that the company has officially authorized and mandated the invoicing activity, ensuring both compliance and authenticity in all subsequent transactions.

This is a mandatory step. This identification is a "KYC"-process, or "Know Your Customer". This process is a verification by an authorised person within the company that the identity is correct and authorisation is given to activate the Access Point for this entity.

KYC, or "Know Your Customer," is crucial in the Peppol network (and other einvoice networks) to prevent identity fraud by verifying user identities through their Access Point provider before they can use the network. This process requires documentation that proves a person's identity and authorization to act on behalf of a company, thereby reducing the risk of fraudulent messages and identity theft.

Overview

• The partner initiates the communication to the authorised person of the company (e.g. from Saas-application).
• The user of the company does not have to login in Billit, and does not see a logo of Billit. So this is completely "white labelled"
• The current identity verification tool is Itsme (website : https://www.itsme-id.com). In the future, additional identity verification tools will be included in order to give maximum flexibility.
• A redirect URL allows to redirect the user to a URL of your environment, so that user can display the result of the identification verification. In the Redirect URL the success status true/false is included. The status is updated directly in Billit.
• A Billit Admin user grants access to the partner to launch the identify Entity process.

Preparation : Whitelisting

Billit must whitelist you so that you can launch identification.

• This is for sandbox and production
• To provide to Billit : the partyID/RegistrationID on sandbox and on production
