Know Your Customer Requirements
KYC refers to identity and related diligence associated with applicable financial-service obligations and risk processes.
Identity diligence applicability
Who must perform checks, which information is needed and how it is retained depend on the actual regulated activity. An identity check is not proof that all broader diligence duties are satisfied. Businesses should avoid collecting documents simply because a generic checklist mentions them.
Legal concepts and regulatory considerations
Applicable rules and provider responsibilities require assessment by the relevant institution or qualified adviser. KYC should not be portrayed as a universal software requirement.
