Transkripcija
What is KYC and why does it matter? KYC stands for know your customer.
It's the process financial institutions use to confirm you are who you really say you are and to understand how you plan to use their services.
This can include checking identity documents, address, business ownership, source of funds and expected transactions.
KYC also helps institutions assess your risk level and decide whether the relationship is a good fit.
These checks help prevent fraud, identity theft, money laundering and the misuse of financial services.

Apie šį epizodą
KYC stands for know your customer: the process financial institutions use to confirm you are who you say you are and to understand how you plan to use their services. In practice that means checking identity documents, address, business ownership, source of funds and expected transactions.
Those checks aren't just a formality — they let an institution assess risk level and decide whether the relationship is a good fit in the first place, before any account is opened or money moves.
The same checks underpin fraud prevention, anti-money-laundering controls and protection against the misuse of financial services more broadly. Demivolt runs KYC and KYB (know your business) as part of its regulated onboarding, which is why new customers are asked for this information upfront.
