What is KYC?
KYC is the process by which financial institutions verify the identity of their customers. It involves collecting and assessing customer information to ensure compliance with regulations and to mitigate the risk of financial crimes such as fraud and identity theft. KYC procedures typically include understanding Politically Exposed Persons (PEPS), identity verification, risk assessment, and ongoing monitoring of customer activities.
What is AML?
AML, on the other hand, focuses on detecting and preventing money laundering and terrorist financing activities. It encompasses a wide range of measures, including customer due diligence, money laundering prevention, AI in money laundering, transaction monitoring, and reporting suspicious activities to regulatory authorities. AML regulations aim to safeguard the integrity of the financial system and prevent it from being exploited for illicit purposes.
