Keep Your Compliance: The Fintech’s Guide to KYC

KYC, meaning Know Your Customer, is as much a regulatory requirement for fintech companies and financial institutions. After all, laws oblige them to verify the identities of their clients. The goal: Prevent fraud and constrain the service access of users, who don’t fulfill certain standards of credibility.

But Know Your Customer policies are not just boundaries. They also act as competitive factors. KYC yields insightful data on one’s own services and customers.

The Compliance Factor in FinTech

July 14, 2016March 5, 2019 Mark Caruso Leave a comment

FinTech – or – It takes more than a few lines of code and an API to crack the bank-dominated world open.

Looking back at the past decade and the development that took place in the financial technology sector during this time, with certainty we can tell: Now is the right time to be in FinTech!
