Digital identity verification is a crucial aspect of customer onboarding for digital banking. It is important for financial institutions to have a robust digital verification process in place for several reasons:
- Compliance: Financial institutions are required to comply with various regulations such as the Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. These regulations require financial institutions to verify the identity of their customers in order to prevent financial crimes such as money laundering and terrorist financing.
- Fraud Prevention: A robust digital verification process can help prevent fraud by ensuring that the person opening an account is who they claim to be. This can help protect both the financial institution and the customer from financial losses.
- Convenience: A digital verification process that is fast and easy can provide a better customer experience. Customers appreciate being able to complete the onboarding process quickly and with minimal hassle.
- Competitive Advantage: Financial institutions that are able to provide a fast, easy, and secure digital onboarding process attract new customers more easily than those that don't.
- Risk management: Digital verification helps to mitigate the risk of onboarding the wrong customers, it allows to comply with regulation, and can prevent fraudulent activities.
