FAQ

What is KYC?

Know Your Customer (KYC) is an identity verification process that authenticates the real identity of customers during onboarding.

What is Enhanced Due Diligence?

EDD goes beyond CDD and looks to establish a higher level of identity assurance with additional verification steps such as verifying the customer’s address.

How do you perform KYC?

Three key steps are involved in our identity process; first, we read the document and extract identity data; next, we check the person on camera is real and matches the document; finally, we verify document authenticity via government databases or using the digital signatures on the document.

What are the requirements for KYC?

KYC document requirements vary according to a region’s jurisdiction but generally include

  • A government-issued ID card
  • Passport
  • Driving License
  • Voter’s ID
  • Birth certificates

Why is KYC required?

KYC helps financial institutions verify the identity of customers and prevents companies from being used in illegal financial activities. KYC also helps firms understand their customer’s financial behaviour, aiding in a better user experience.

What is KYB?

Know Your Business (KYB) refers to the controls that a company must implement to ensure its clients are not engaged in criminal activity. It is the process of due diligence that should be undertaken before dealing with any organisation.

What is the difference between KYC and KYB?

KYC (Know Your Customer) refers to verifying the identity of an individual, whereas KYB (Know Your Business) analyses and verifies the identity of companies.

Why is KYB necessary?

KYB helps companies obtain essential information about their potential clients, to protect their interests while dealing with other businesses. It also ensures that organisations are not indirectly associated with fraudulent activities.

The main advantages of a comprehensive KYB Screening procedure are:

  1. Helps evaluate the business authenticities of companies, and identify changes in transactional behaviour, which sometimes indicate fraud.
  2. Identifies the Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) and evaluates their risk profiles.
  3. Screening key stakeholders prevent the occurrence of financial fraud making companies trustworthy.

Can uqudo verify KYB documents in languages other than English?

Yes, uqudo’s KYB coverage includes more than 98 languages, including Arabic, English, Afrikaans and many more.
