Identity Verification

KYC in financial and banking services

The financial services industry is a wide-ranging term for businesses that deal with money management. These businesses include banks, credit unions, insurance companies, accountancy firms, and investment banks. The financial services industry is made up of thousands of public and private companies that collectively manage trillions of dollars in assets every year.

The industry is undergoing significant transformation. The impact of technology on how customers access financial products and manage their finances has revolutionized the sector and created new growth opportunities. KYC policy and remote identity verification process are a huge part of that transformation.

Industry Transformation

New regulations, such as GDPR, Payment Services Directive2, and AML (Anti-money laundering), are increasing both customer expectations and the threat of cybercrime.

In this competitive market, your digital channels must be fast and secure. However, traditional authentication solutions don’t meet the requirements of modern banking systems or the constantly developing malicious activities.

In this new economic environment:

Customers want to access products faster than ever with as little friction as possible
Increased regulations are making Know Your Customer (KYC) processes more complex.
Digital solutions are needed across all levels of banking to create a seamless user experience from KYC through all stages of banking operations.
Banks must address cyber security threats, including identity theft and money laundering, which haven’t had many solutions. Protecting accounts’ data security and complying with regulations such as GDPR is becoming imperative.

Maintain a high level of security and customer experience

Security is a key component of the customer experience for financial services firms. Customers expect to do everything online—and they want companies to meet those expectations without compromising the security—whether it’s checking account balances or accessing retirement accounts.

This is particularly true as digital transformation initiatives open new ways of interacting with customers more efficiently and effectively.

The comfort of real-time verification

It is more important than ever for businesses within the financial services industry to verify customers online in real-time with a high level of confidence. In an age when cyber-attacks and fraud are increasing, it’s critical that your business can eliminate fake accounts and bots from accessing your site, therefore protecting you from financial losses and damaging your brand reputation.
