Understanding KYC Compliance

KYC compliance refers to a process of identifying and verifying the identity of customers in order to obtain information about them that is needed for AML (Anti Money Laundering) purposes. KYC policies should be implemented at an early stage in order to prevent fraudsters from taking over your account.

KYC Requirements in the US:

In order to be compliant with AML directives, financial institutions must comply with customer identification programs (CPIC) that are aimed at identifying customers who may pose a risk of money laundering, terrorist financing, and other criminal activity. KYC programs require financial institutions to develop an in-depth understanding of their customer's business activities that could potentially expose them to a risk for money laundering or terrorist financing.

KYC Requirements in the UK:

KYC policies are mandatory under the new Proceeds of Crime Act 2015 (PCA 2015) and must be followed by all UK financial institutions. KYC requirements aim to protect against the criminal exploitation of customers, with a specific focus on vulnerable groups such as children or those who are socially excluded from society.
