    KYC for Banks: Reducing financial risk with a perfect digital solution

    KYc Solutions For Banks

    The banking sector has to tread a very balanced path between compliance regulations and customer friendly business practices. At the same time, they have to safeguard their customers from online frauds and scams as well because the recent studies have revealed that online banking frauds are one of the biggest sources of digital scams. Not only conventional banking services but accounts attached to its various services such as credit card accounts are also at great risk of being exposed to digital bandits. Only KYC for Banks has the potential to safeguard interests of both the banking sector and their millions of clients spread across the world.

    The expense of online identity theft directed towards banking services can be understood by the simple fact that last year witnessed more than 30% increase in credit card account takeover, resulting into millions being lost to cybercriminals. Integration of online banking services has created put both banks and their customers at risk of becoming victims of digital identity theft and online frauds. Banks can opt for even the most secure system that is considered hard to breach but the reality of the fact will stand out that hackers and cyber bandits will always find a way to circumvent even the hardest to crack security protocols. Only online identity verification services based on the KYC authentication principle has the potential to secure internet-based banking activities.

    How Can an Online KYC for Banks Solution Be Useful?

    Banks and other financial institutions already have a Know Your Customer solution implemented when a customer walks in and asks to open an account. The bank representative then takes down all the required information from the customer, including job/business, sources of income. The bank also asks for proof of the provided information.in the form of documents and copies of ID. When this is done as online services it gets a bit tricky given that the person applying is not physically present and the documents submitted can easily be forged ones. Hence, a smart KYC for banks solution is required that can actually verify that the provided documents as well as the person are the real deal. The smart online KYC solution is usually provided by 3rd party service providers. The system is based on an advanced AI that carries out all the verifications and scanning tasks and sometimes HI (Human Intelligence) is also implemented to authenticate the given result. If we look at it this system, it can prevent the use of a stolen identity as it will verify the person as well as check the documents for tampering and forgery. Given the above hypothetical situation, such a system would have been quite useful had the bank opted for it.

    Well then, How Does the Smart KYC For Banks Work?

    The online KYC for banks system uses the Internet, a webcam or a smartphone camera to carry out the verifications. Let’s take for example online services for opening a bank account. When a customer has filled out all the requirements and submitted the documents. The system kicks in and asks the customer to face his webcam. The system checks for such things as excessive make up, masks or the presentation of a picture instead of a live person. If the customer does not have a webcam, the system can utilize the camera of their smartphone to carry out the verification process. Then the person is asked to show their ID, the ID is checked for signs of tampering or forgery through hologram checking. The person is asked to focus on the picture on the card, the name, DOB and address. The face on the picture is matched with that of the customer and the details with that of the provided ones. The system at the same time does a background check of the person against global watchlists regarding terrorist organisations and money laundering. If everything is clear the system lets the customer proceed otherwise the process is halted.

    KYC Verification – The Technology

    Although there are many KYC service provider offering online identity verification services for a range of industries, the banking sector needs to rely only on a top of the line KYC for banks service, as the stakes are too high to be taken lightly. The technology used for ID verification and other KYC services, thus, have a vital role to play in the selection of a preferred KYC service provider. An ideal KYC for banks solution not only have to provide omni-channel support but must have flawless technology to quickly and correctly identify an incoming banking customer.
