What is Know Your Customer(KYC) and Why Is It Important?

Know Your Customer (KYC) is a process that involves collecting and verifying information about customers to identify them. KYC regulations are important because they provide an extra layer of security against money laundering and other types of fraud. By completing a KYC process, users can be sure that the person they are dealing with is who they say they are. Additionally, KYC can help issuers comply with AML (Anti-Money Laundering) regulations and ensure that their collectibles are not used for criminal activities.

The KYC includes document cross-checking, liveness verification, AML screenings, and other checks that can help authenticate the buyer and seller’s identity and provide protection against fraud and thefts.
