As people spend more time online, they leave a digital trail of information that can be used against them if put in the wrong hands. The convergence of online and offline has opened up entire new pathways for fraudsters, money launderers and identity thieves to assume another person’s identity.
KYC (Know Your Customer) refers to the process of verifying the identity of your customers, either before or during the time when they start doing business with your organisation. With eKYC, businesses are able to perform identity verification and due diligence electronically, but must ensure they have the correct end-to-end identity verification strategies in place.
