FAQs

Compliance and KYC are daunting topics. We have compiled some answers on the most important questions below.

Why is KYC important?

KYC is important for several reasons:

  • Preventing financial crimes: It helps identify and prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illegal activities.
  • Regulatory compliance: It ensures businesses meet legal requirements and avoid hefty fines.
  • Risk management: It allows companies to assess and mitigate risks associated with their customers.
  • Building trust: It enhances credibility with customers, partners, and regulators.
Is KYC compliance mandatory?

Yes, KYC (Know Your Customer) compliance is mandatory for most financial institutions and many other regulated businesses worldwide. In most countries, governmental institutions require organisations to implement KYC procedures to prevent financial crimes such as money laundering and terrorist financing.

What is the KYC life cycle?

The KYC life cycle typically consists of four main stages:

  1. Customer Identification: Collecting basic identity information from the customer.
  2. Customer Due Diligence (CDD): Verifying the customer's identity and assessing their risk profile.
  3. Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD): Conducting additional checks for high-risk customers.
  4. Ongoing Monitoring: Continuously reviewing and updating customer information and transactions.

  • Banks and credit unions
  • Insurance companies
  • Investment firms and brokers

What is the difference between AML and KYC?

While closely related, AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC are distinct concepts: KYC is a part of the broader AML framework. It focuses on verifying customer identities and assessing their risk profiles. AML encompasses various policies and procedures designed to prevent, detect, and report money laundering activities, including KYC, transaction monitoring, and reporting suspicious activities.
