Know Your Customer
Know Your Customer (KYC) is a regulatory framework requiring financial institutions to verify the identity of clients and to assess and monitor the risk of illicit activity. It also entails ongoing monitoring of client activity to detect unusual or potentially illegal behavior.
Example: A broker-dealer opens a new cash account and completes KYC by collecting name, date of birth, address, and government ID, then screens the client against regulatory lists.
