In today's increasingly complex regulatory landscape, businesses face relentless pressure to implement robust Know Your Customer (KYC) practices to combat financial crime and ensure compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) regulations. First Data KYC offers a comprehensive suite of solutions tailored to empower businesses in this endeavor.
KYC refers to the process of verifying the identity and assessing the risk associated with customers. It involves collecting and verifying customer data, such as personal information, proof of identity, and proof of address. This process helps businesses understand their customers' profiles, determine their risk level, and mitigate potential risks of financial crime.
According to PwC, the cost of financial crime to the global economy is estimated to be a staggering 2.5 trillion USD. KYC plays a crucial role in combating this scourge by preventing criminals from accessing financial services for illicit activities.
