Know Your Customer (KYC) services

In Banking and capital markets

EY Know Your Customer services support financial institutions seeking to transform onboarding, refresh, due diligence and screening functions. Part of our Financial Crime solution, KYC services are underpinned by our deep domain knowledge, leading FinCrime technology platform, technology alliances and regulatory experience.

Your business challenge

Financial institutions that transform KYC processes can cut costs, elevate quality, enhance customer experience and help drive broader digital transformation initiatives. But balancing KYC obligations while minimizing the negative impact for customers is becoming more challenging due to several factors:  

  • The KYC regulatory environment is evolving fast.
  • Tedious, manual processes create cost and resource pressures.
  • The potential of data and digital to transform KYC compliance is hindered by data siloes and outmoded systems and methods.
  • Talent to manage KYC compliance is scarce, and expensive to recruit, train and retain.
