Background
KYC has become a mainstream buzzword. In recent years, Know Your Customer, also
know as user profile or user account, is and has always been a key part of the
customer’s lifecycle. Requirements for processing KYC data and meeting financial
crime (AML) regulations, has become a critical component of banking functions. Both
Banks and customers are, however, struggling with time-consuming KYC
requirements, often including many merchants, banks, utilities and formats. Inefficient
processes also impact merchants negatively, slowing down transaction processes, and
increasing administration costs and risks.

At the same time, the banking community is continuously facing more regulations and
requirements related to KYC processes. There is hence a need for a consolidated,
efficient and accurate way to serve customers, banks and society.

The AKcess solution contributes to ensuring a healthy financial environment,


preventing financial crime and protecting customers and society.
