What is pKYC?
KYC doesn't end after the first approval. In fact, have you heard about Perpetual Know Your Customer (pKYC)? It's revolutionizing how businesses approach compliance by continuously monitoring client risk profiles throughout your relationship.
Unlike traditional KYC, which occurs only at onboarding and periodic renewals, pKYC provides real-time risk assessment. This means you can stay compliant and secure by constantly evaluating customer data and catching potential threats before they become serious problems.
The Problem with Traditional KYC
The initial KYC process is crucial; it sets the foundation for your entire business relationship. But relying solely on KYC renewal isn't enough for three big reasons:
- Blind spots between renewals: Traditional renewals happen at fixed intervals (yearly, every 2, 3, 5 years…), leaving gaps where significant risk changes can go undetected.
- Customer frustration: Let's be honest, nobody enjoys being asked for the same documents repeatedly. It creates a poor experience and feels like bureaucracy for bureaucracy's sake.
- Operational inefficiency: Chasing clients for documents they've already provided is time-consuming and creates compliance gaps when customers delay responding.
pKYC: Seamless, Frictionless Compliance
pKYC takes a smarter approach by continuously monitoring your clients so you can spot risks as they emerge:
- Ongoing AML & PEP screenings: Detect any changes in all the sanctions lists and politically exposed persons in real-time.
- Adverse media monitoring: Catch negative news about clients before reputation damage occurs.
- Dynamic transaction monitoring: Prevent suspicious activities using configurable rules tailored to your business and your customers’ profiles.
- Continuous risk assessment: Keep risk profiles updated automatically without manual intervention.
- Smart KYC renewal management: Maintain current customer records without disrupting their experience as it’s still mandatory by the regulators to do KYC renewals.
With the right tools, you can perform all these checks without bothering your clients for additional information. This creates a smoother experience for them and reduces work for your team.
