KYC (Know Your Customer) verification is a regulatory requirement that establishes trust between financial institutions and their customers. It is mandatory for all institutions, and related processes must adhere to a customer identification program (CIP). Without KYC, banks' assets, including those of their valued customers, remain exposed to risk. Instnt streamlines the identity document verification process during sign-up to detect fraud, using automated screening to convert more new users into authenticated account holders.
How To Enable KYC Verification
By default, the Instnt dashboard activates the Know Your Customer (KYC) verification feature when creating a workflow. We recommend keeping this setting as it is to allow Instnt to handle the KYC compliance verification checks. The feature functions seamlessly within your workflow, requiring no integration changes. Our streamlined process, powered by AI-based anti-fraud technology, helps customers complete KYC requirements swiftly.
For KYC, both the National ID (SSN) and Date of Birth are required for the US, but for Canada, only Date of Birth is required. Some of these features have dependencies on the rule selection, and the feature-field relations are detailed in the Fields Dictionary. This rule may vary for the US and Canada. For more information on creating a workflow, please see the Quick Start Guide.
