What is KYC? For anyone who is not familiar with this acronym – Know your customer regulation. How well do you know your customers and are you sure that they are not linked with any criminal or fraudulent activity?
Know Your Customer refers to a process verifying the identity of your customers, be it beforehand doing business with them or during.
What is it for?
KYC regulation has been introduced to manage and tackle several very important threats in modern society, such as money laundering, corruption, terrorist funding or other illegal activities. Yeah, we know…all of these sounds pretty serious.
Know Your Customer compliance is a rather simple process while done in “real life”. All you have to do is verify if that person is real and has a legally valid document. People have done it everywhere, when they went to the bank and opened an account or done any financial operations, interacting with government authorities, even when checking into a hotel or renting a flat.
KYC compliance is widely applied around the globe. And while it was technical it was also rather simple when you have a person present. Simply checking if a person match with his ID was enough. But what happens when you never “see” your customers? When businesses moved into a digital environment, KYC compliance became a bit more difficult and the rise of the eKYC concept became more and more present.
