Trust2Connect (T2C), a startup founded by former Equifax executives, has launched an AI-driven Know Your Business (KYB) platform designed to enhance B2B verification processes, speed up account openings, and reduce payment risks.
T2C automates and accelerates business due diligence by verifying and scoring over 97 million small and private businesses across the United States. The platform aggregates and analyzes data from a network of more than 100,000 public and private sources, providing a comprehensive view of each entity.
Founded by Bill Phelan and Prakash Ranade, T2C addresses the challenge of accurately validating businesses and obtaining a thorough, reliable, and current understanding of a company’s profile. The startup claims it can shorten onboarding and business account opening timelines by over 70%.
Phelan states, “T2C’s KYB platform delivers a rigorously verified, 360-degree perspective of a company’s financial, operational, and reputational standing. We empower businesses to expedite transactions, significantly lower operational costs, and engage in B2B dealings with enhanced security and trust.”
