KYC, or Know Your Client/Customer, is a compliance protocol essential in the digital age for safeguarding both clients and financial institutions. Originating from the 1970 Bank Secrecy Act, KYC's significance rose post-9/11 when it began integrating measures against terrorism financing and financial crimes. Through guidelines organized by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), KYC aims not only to determine product suitability for clients but also to hinder criminal enterprises and protect financial firms from legal repercussions. It encompasses various regulatory components vital for risk management in financial services.
KYC, or Know Your Client/Customer, has evolved into a critical compliance protocol that plays a vital role in both client protection and crime prevention.
Originally rooted in the 1970 Bank Secrecy Act, KYC guidelines became increasingly relevant after 9-11, incorporating measures to thwart terrorism and criminal activities.
