We report observations of the $b\ensuremath{\rightarrow}d$ penguin-dominated decays ${B}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\overline{K}}^{0}{K}^{+}$ and ${B}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}^{0}{\overline{K}}^{0}$ in $316\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ of ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ collision data collected with the BABAR detector. We measure the branching fractions $\mathcal{B}({B}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\overline{K}}^{0}{K}^{+})=(1.61\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.44\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.09)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}6}$ and $\mathcal{B}({B}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}^{0}{\overline{K}}^{0})=(1.08\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.28\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.11)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}6}$ and the $CP$-violating charge asymmetry ${\mathcal{A}}_{CP}({\overline{K}}^{0}{K}^{+})=0.10\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.26\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.03$.
