  • (1888PressRelease) October 22, 2022 - Banks and financial institutions must conduct ‘Know Your Customer’ or KYC checks for verifying the identity of customers, partners, and vendors prior to establishing a business relationship with them. The objective of KYC is to prevent financial services from being used for any illicit activities and lower the risk of fraud. KYC has thus become an integral part of onboarding for banks and FIs.

    Typically, banks verify KYC for opening accounts for new customers and commencing a relationship with businesses, vendors, and partners. The manual verification process includes collecting and verifying valid physical documents for identity and address proof like Aadhar Card, Voted ID, etc. as well as financial documents like PAN card for individuals. For businesses, this may also include GST, MCA, and ownership documents.

    However, it can be cumbersome to manually handle the documentation and adds to considerable time and costs for banks. Further, it elevates the risk of fraud as manual verification could lead to slipping up on the finer details.

    Karza’s Total KYC suite is built to address these onboarding challenges for banks and FIs in line with RBI’s regulatory requirements while ensuring risk and fraud mitigation.
