KYC

KYC, or Know Your Customer, is the process of verifying a customer's identity to ensure they are who they claim to be. It is a standard compliance procedure used by financial institutions and other regulated businesses to prevent fraud, money laundering, and terrorist financing.

Why it’s in the news: KYC is in the news as it evolves from a basic compliance check into a more advanced 'Know Your Agent' model, driven by AI and the need to manage risk in modern payment ecosystems.
