Know Your Customer (KYC) is a risk-based, ongoing process for identifying customers, verifying evidence, assessing relationship risk, screening for relevant concerns, documenting decisions, and refreshing records when circumstances change. It differs from a simple document check or identity verification because it also covers policy, customer due diligence, risk acceptance, auditability, and continuous review, while eKYC delivers these functions through digital methods such as documents, databases, biometrics, liveness checks, and NFC. KYC forms one part of the broader anti-money-laundering framework, which additionally includes transaction monitoring, investigations, reporting, governance, and ongoing controls; related concepts include enhanced due diligence for higher-risk cases and Know Your Business procedures for entities and beneficial owners. Effective workflows define policies and triggers, collect only necessary information, resolve and validate identities, verify that applicants control the presented evidence, assess screening and risk results, make server-side decisions, preserve audit records, and monitor for changes. Organizations evaluating KYC services should consider regulatory fit, fraud resistance, geographic and document coverage, operational transparency, API reliability, privacy, security, user inclusion, and exception handling, recognizing that technology providers supply evidence and workflow tools but cannot independently make an organization compliant.
