KnowYour Customer (KYC), is a crucial process for businesses to verify customer identities and comply with regulations to protect against identity fraud and illegal activities such as money laundering. KYC involves verifying customer identity, confirming the information they provided is correct, understanding their financial activities, and assessing associated risks.
Most KYC processes involve verifying ID cards, passports, driver's licences or even selfies, which can easily be altered, morphed or falsified. There is however a growing need for advanced KYC solutions that offer a fast, secure, and frictionless experience for customers without compromising trust and security in the verification process.
Ideco’s eKYC solution offers the highest level of trust in identity proofing by providing real time online verification against all critical data sources, using the Famoco FP200 mobile biometric device. Using this device you can safeguard your business against financial crimes while meeting stringent, FICA, KYC andAML requirements.
Identity fraud and financial crime have significantly increased with advanced technologies like AI and big data analysis. Customer onboarding has become one of the most costly and complex processes for most organisations, especially where it needs to be done remotely. Despite all the innovation in this field, there are still notable flaws and limitations in today’s KYC practices that can impede efficiency and accuracy.
1. Time-consuming Processes: Manual KYC processes involving collecting, verifying, and reviewing customer information and documents. This can be time-consuming, leading to delays in customer onboarding and transaction processing.
2. Human Error: Manual data entry and verification processes are prone to human errors such as typos or misinterpretation of documents, which can result in incorrect customer information.
3. Inefficiency: Manual KYC processes lack the efficiency of automated systems, leading to delays, errors, and increased operational costs associated with non-compliance fines.
4. Scalability Issues: Traditional KYC practices may face challenges in scaling to handle a growing customer base effectively, impacting operational efficiency as businesses expand.
5. Inconsistent Standards: In manual KYC processes, there can be variations in due diligence levels due to inconsistent application of KYC practices by different personnel, leading to complianceisks.
6. Regulatory ComplianceBurdens: Failure to keep accurate customer records, or reliance on manual processes can lead to non-compliance with regulations, resulting in fines and legal implications.
New FICA regulations make it a lot easier for you to open an account in minutes, by relaxing the documentation requirements in favour of monitoring transactions following a risk-based approach. These new FICA regulations make financial transactions safer and faster for everyone.
The moment you submit a transaction, the device will securely connect to our servers for processing your request against the relevant database. This processing may take a few seconds.
The only reason why a transaction cannot be processed in real-time is when there is a break in data communications or when the relevant database of our service provider is not reachable (i.e. Department of Home Affairs is offline).
In this case the device will notify the user and your request will be put in a queue. Once the request is successfully processed, you wil still receive an email report with the search results.
A Politically Exposed Person, or PEP, is an individual who holds, or has held, a prominent public position. This can include high-ranking government officials, leaders of political parties, judges, military officers, and even royal family members.
A Prominent Influential Person, or PIP, is someone who holds a significant position in a company. This can include individuals like chairpersons of a company's board of directors, those overseeing audit committees, or executives holding key financial roles within the company.
