Summary

KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money-Laundering) are essential yet distinct compliance processes that work together to mitigate financial-crime risks. KYC involves verifying a customer's identity at onboarding using documents and biometrics, while AML continuously monitors and screens these verified identities against extensive watchlists to detect suspicious activities and sanctioned entities. Both processes are crucial for regulated businesses, as KYC establishes who the customer is, and AML evaluates and monitors their risk over time. Didit's unified /v3/ API integrates KYC and AML into a single workflow, ensuring a seamless compliance experience without the need for separate AML vendors. This approach not only streamlines the onboarding process but also reduces compliance gaps and integration costs. The system effectively supports various industries, including neobanks, crypto VASPs, marketplaces, and iGaming, by providing comprehensive verification and monitoring services at competitive pricing.
