Business challenge

Know Your Customer (KYC) authentication is critical for financial institutions to reduce financial crimes. But manually documenting and validating multiple customer identification papers is a considerable drain on resources, and can have a significant impact on your operations, banking relationships, and ability to protect sensitive data.

Impact

• Manual KYC is incredibly labor intensive, eating into budgets, extending time to revenue, and tying up workers with time-consuming, tedious tasks.
• Inefficient onboarding impacts customer experience, and many banks miss the opportunity to use the data for insights that can further improve customer experiences, lower costs, and boost revenue.
• KYC procedures are designed to help prevent identity theft, money laundering, fraud, terrorism financing, and other financial crimes. But manually managing paper and electronic records in separate workflows impedes transparency and auditability while complicating data security.

What if you could

Automating KYC helps you:

• Onboard customers faster while saving time and costs.
• Improve the customer experience for competitive advantage.
• Improve data privacy, security, and compliance.
