Industry codes

What a business does, as a NAICS code — the value the KYB business.industry field takes. These are the accepted codes: a submission whose industry is outside this catalog is rejected as incomplete, and there is no catch-all, so pick the closest listed industry.

Verifying a person rather than a company? Industries describe what a company does; occupations describe someone's job. See Occupation codes for the SOC catalog the KYC employment.occupation_soc field takes.

Finding your code

Codes are grouped below into the 20 NAICS sectors. Jump to the sector that matches the business from the outline, then scan its table — or search this page (Ctrl/Cmd+F) for a keyword like "software", "consulting" or "plumbing".

Send the code exactly as shown — six digits, no punctuation, as in 541512.

This is a supported subset of NAICS, not the full classification. For example, 541511 is not accepted; the mapping catalog maps it to 541512. Review the suggested industry before submitting it.

Programmatic access

Driving a picker rather than reading? The same catalog is served as JSON, and a second endpoint translates a code from outside it into the closest one we accept:

curl "$SEISMIC_ORCHESTRATION_URL/v0/industries"
