What is KYC / AML and Why it Matters

‍

KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) are foundational to trust and security in financial services. KYC requires businesses to verify the identity of customers before onboarding, ensuring they are legitimate and reducing the risk of fraud or financial crime. AML involves ongoing monitoring of transactions to detect suspicious activity, such as money laundering, terrorist financing, or other illicit behavior.

‍

Compliance with KYC and AML regulations protects businesses from legal and reputational risks while maintaining financial system integrity. It includes identity verification, documentation, transaction analysis, and reporting to regulators when suspicious activity is detected.
