Know Your Customer (KYC) Services

What Is KYC and Customer Due Diligence?

KYC or Customer Due Diligence is not only about the identification and verification of your customer’s identity. It is also a process during which you get to know your client better by collecting such information as residential address, contact details, the purpose of the account with your organization, etc. If you provide services to business clients, you definitely want to know your customer‘s ownership structure, economic activity, source of funds, etc.

Usually, financial institutions create KYC questionnaires to collect all the necessary data. Then follows the process of information verification, customer screening and risk scoring.

KYC is a continuous process – the information you collect during customer on-boarding has to be reviewed and, if necessary, updated.
