Information about KYC / AML / Policy

KYC (or know your customer) checks, are background checks that should be carried out as part of your risk-based approach. The KYC process involves the verification of the customer’s identity, using documents like photographic ID, proof of date of birth and proof of address. This can be done manually, with physical documentation, but it’s faster and more reliable to do it electronically, with data sourced online.

Customer due diligence, or CDD is a longer process which continues after the customer has been onboarded, and includes checks like sanctions and PEP screenings, to continuously assess the risk-level that a customer poses to a business.

Both KYC and CDD are crucial aspects of AML compliance. Regulated firmsmustidentify and verify anyone they work with, to ensure they don’t unknowingly become involved with a business or individual with a history of financial crime, or sanctions.

Perpetual Know our Customer (pKYC) - also known as continual KYC - is the ongoing process by which businesses continuously update customer information as a part of their risk management strategy and is a step on from a standard Know Your Customer (KYC) process.

pKYC not only offers a much more dynamic and secure risk management solution but will automatically evolve as clients’ circumstances change, thereby reducing risk and the level of period work required by regulated firms.
