# Account Verification

Activate a production account for a merchant.

When a merchant sets up a Rapyd commercial account, they must provide background information, as required for the country and the business type. This information is collected securely through a hosted page. When the information is approved, Rapyd sends you a webhook with updated information.

This is a [Know-Your-Business (KYB)](https://docs.rapyd.net/en/glossary.md#UUID-945d98cf-adae-e1cf-2606-c7fae8b4a7e1_kyb "Know Your Business") procedure for onboarding merchants who use Rapyd via a marketplace. Rapyd clients use the Client Portal.
