Verifying Customer Identities
How do you distinguish between a genuine customer and a bad actor looking to exploit or harm your business? Customer verification ('Know Your Customer', or KYC) is a crucial opportunity to safeguard your organisation by preventing criminal activity from gaining a foothold. Information and documentation provided as part of your customer onboarding process all contain vital clues to the real identities and aims of your potential customer - clues that can stop application fraud in its tracks.
