    Why KYC Solutions are becoming a norm in Cryptocurrency?

    kyc solutions for crypto currency shufti

    KYC Solutions provide a great opportunity for crypto exchanges and virtual currency enthusiasts to earn credibility and legitimate status. These kinds of solutions are rapidly becoming important tools to regulate the cryptocurrency space. With virtual currency becoming host to billions of dollars in investments from a diverse range of sources, it is becoming more and more binding on the regulators and the crypto enthusiasts to adopt strategies and business methods that invite greater trust over the entire operating mechanism of cryptocurrencies. Some traditionalists believe that KYC Solutions tend to undermine the basic philosophy behind virtual currencies that is least regulations and better anonymity in financial sector. However, if cryptocurrencies and crypto exchanges resist such regulatory moves, it will be very hard to get international recognition for this blockchain based financial system. In order to earn legitimate status and witness a continuous boom in the fortunes of virtual currency floaters, KYC Solutions are a must have.

    KYC solutions are not some artificial tools that undermine the functional aspects of virtual currencies or crypto exchanges but they will ensure greater transparency and will help to eradicate inherent financial risk attached with cryptocurrencies. As every cryptocurrency enthusiast is aware of the fact that the anonymity of virtual currencies is leading criminal elements from all over the globe, to use this virtual financial system to conduct money laundering activities in addition to risks of terror funding. Efficient and trustworthy KYC solutions help to solve the puzzle of anonymity in virtual currencies without compromising on the technological aspects of this state of the art financial phenomenon.

    KYC Solutions and Territorial Borders

    Each regulator and nation state follow a unique economic system and each respond differently to the anonymity of cryptocurrencies. Some regulators demand greater checks on crypto exchanges while others have a liberal standing towards crypto exchanges and virtual currencies. But as more and more cases are coming out where crypto exchanges or even regular banking institutions have been found as accomplice to money laundering and terror financing activities carried out by virtual bandits, the most liberal regulators have ordered crypto exchanges to mend their operations by introducing measures that encourage greater transparency.

    KYC Solutions are considered to be the best means to the achieve the goal of greater transparency but the demand of KYC differs from country to country and regulator to regulator. As you know that major crypto exchanges have a global market outreach. It means that people from different countries can be trading virtual currencies using the services of a crypto exchange. Regulators are not much concerned in trading or buying/selling of any particular cryptocurrency. They demand from crypto exchanges to install KYC Solutions that don’t only collect personal information of users from authentic documents but that also verify those credentials. Regulators are forcing crypto exchanges to perform these KYC procedures long before a person starts trading on these exchanges. It means that customer onboarding process can be compromised because of not-so-efficient KYC solutions. Users don’t like to wait for hours, if not days, to get their credentials validated before they start trading. So there is always a risk of losing customers in order to comply with  regulators’ demands for greater KYC compliance.

    Greater Productivity With Efficient KYC Solutions

    With increasing pressures from international financial watchdogs and greater zeal to counter money laundering activities and terror financing, regulators are either forcing crypto exchanges or will start tightening regulations in coming months that will drive crypto exchanges to install more proactive Digital KYC solutions.

    Shufti is an ideal solution for crypto exchanges that are in need of fast yet efficient KYC Solutions. This artificial intelligence KYC Solution can verify identity documents issued by every country of the globe. This smart KYC solution can read documents in every language of the world which is just perfect for crypto exchanges whose business model encourages a global client base.
