KYC is the process of verifying the identity of your customers to ensure they are who they claim to be. It is a critical part of AML compliance and helps in understanding and assessing customer risk. KYC includes collecting information such as a customer’s name, address, and financial background. By implementing robust KYC practices, businesses can prevent financial crimes like money laundering and fraud.
