# KYB entity categories

This section defines what checks (if any) to apply to the organisation entity and its owners. For each entity category there is a check type for “individual” and/or “organisation”. The available categories are:

| Category              | Description                                                      |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| default               | Check type to use for categories that have no check type defined |
| organisation          | Only the original organisation                                   |
| ubos                  | Ultimate beneficial owners                                       |
| pseudo\_ubos          | Directors used as stand-ins when ownership can’t be resolved     |
| direct\_owners        | Only the first level of owners                                   |
| officers              | All officers (director, secretaries, or others)                  |
| officers\_directors   | Just directors                                                   |
| officers\_secretaries | Just company secretaries                                         |
| officers\_other       | Just non-directors                                               |
| all                   | All associated entities                                          |

### pseudo\_ubos

When a customer uses pseudo UBOs for entity categories in the business ownership query or risk configuration - this behaviour is configurable as to which entities will be selected for checks and if the entity categories for checks includes `pseudo_ubos` . This will only trigger when we’ve no UBOs identified.

We’re able to configure what categories will be considered as a pseudo UBO. The default config for this is shown below, meaning that when no UBOs are present and `pseudo_ubos` are requested in the check, directors should be checked.

```json JSON theme={null}
       "check_organisation_pseudo_ubos": [  
         "officers_directors"  
       ],  
```

The customer can override this behaviour with what’s relevant to their policies.
