What is a Know Your Customer (KYC) app?

Know Your Customer or KYC is a common process used by businesses to verify their customers' identities and to evaluate any potential risks related to them. A KYC app simplifies this process by offering an efficient way for customer onboarding, identity verification, customer data management, and more.

What are the common features of a KYC app?

Depending on your company’s unique needs, you may want to build one or several features of a KYC app.

Identity verification: Verify customers’ identity by comparing their submitted PII against various proofs such as government-issued ID documents or credit bureaus.
Risk assessment: Assess the potential risks associated with a customer based on factors such as their credit history, financial history, criminal records, and more.
Document management: Store and manage customer-provided documents, such as ID documents, bank statements, or utility bills, in a secure way.
Compliance management: Comply with various legal and regulatory requirements, such as Anti-Money Laundering (AML) or Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations.
