‘Know your customer’ (KYC) is a significant factor for businesses worldwide in combating financial crimes and fraud today. The KYC process involves various procedures, including ID card verification, document verification (utility bills as proof of address), face verification and more to check if clients are genuine. These procedures are crucial in assessing customer risk and double as legal requirements in complying with anti-money laundering (AML) laws and regulations. So how can these procedures be carried out to determine the validity of clients' information? We'll teach you the concepts of KYC and its procedures in assessing the level of risks involved with each client. We begin by discussing the process of KYC to ascertain the authenticity of clients. Then investigate the objectives of KYC, the KYC compliance framework and its benefits.
One of the ways to perform extensive background checks on clients is to scrutinise all their information for any inconsistencies and anomalies before establishing business relationships with them. To achieve this, you must do proper customer due diligence among many procedures of KYC. First, you will study the components of KYC, including the concept of customer due diligence.

Finally, you will learn when it is necessary to carry out extensive verification and monitoring processes on high-risk clients.
