What is KYC?<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
\n
KYC means \u201cKnow your customer\u201d. It describes the process of verifying the identity of our customers. In other words, we must ensure that our customers are genuinely who they claim to be. The KYC process is performed to prevent illegal activities such as money laundering or fraud, in return protecting both the company and you (our customer). KYC process includes identity verification and collection of additional information\/documentation.<\/div>\n

Anti-money laundering (AML) includes policies, laws, and regulations to prevent financial crimes and illegal activity.
