KYC Academy

Overview

All financial institutions are required by law to implement the Know Your Customer (KYC) process to establish the legitimacy of a customer’s identity and identify potential risk factors. Undertaking KYC training is crucial in preparing compliance teams to meet regulatory expectations and making it easier to manage and mitigate risks to the organisation.

However, when it comes to KYC training, one size does not fit all. Rather than working through “tick-the-box” exercises, training should focus on giving employees an appropriate level of AML/KYC knowledge and equipping them to confidently spot suspicious situations and execute their roles effectively.

Specialized KYC training
