Personal Account Verification (KYC)

What is KYC?

Know Your Customer is a process of a financial entity verifying the identity of customers and evaluating their appropriateness, along with the prospects of unlawful purposes and practices. Money laundering is one of the significant menaces in a country’s economy. Financial institutions and the government are always on the watch for such illegal activities. Mandating KYC formalities for banking or investment transactions is an effective way to prevent this.
