            • What is a KYC check for Hong Kong?

              Hong Kong’s financial institutions are required to conduct KYC checks when onboarding customers. The guidelines setting out the KYC procedure are issued by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA). For individual customers onboarded remotely, businesses typically must verify their full name, date of birth, nationality, and unique ID number.

            • Can KYC be automated?

              KYC (Know Your Customer) processes can be automated. Companies automate checks using advanced technologies such as AI (Artificial Intelligence) and machine learning. Automation streamlines customer verification procedures, enhances efficiency and speed, reduces manual errors, and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements.

            • What is an identity verification system?

              An identity verification system is a software that enables businesses to verify the identity of their customers.

            • What is eKYC?

              eKYC stands for electronic Know Your Customer. It is a technology-driven process that allows organizations to verify the identity of their customers electronically, typically through the use of the photos of documents (or their digital versions) and biometric data. This is often faster and more convenient than traditional face-to-face methods, and helps in reducing paperwork and manual processes.

            • What is the best AML/KYC provider in Hong Kong?

              The “best” solution to pick depends greatly on the requirements of your business.
