Know Your Customer (KYC) Software
for Banks and Financial Services
Achieve perpetual KYC with iMeta’s ‘always-on’ compliance
Our complete KYC solution is an important cog in ensuring our end-to-end software delivers faster client journeys, and makes sure all Know your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulatory requirements are met.
As part of our one-stop customer journey software, iMeta can manage all compliance policies from KYC, Tax, Product regulation and legal requirements, and can apply these dynamically as policies and customers change.
We understand that existing time-based review processes are not ideal from a risk management point of view, as changes to information can be missed. Neither are they the most efficient from a resource perspective, as multiple personnel are required to run the reviews.
That’s why iMeta was purpose-built with ‘always-on’ compliance baked into the platform from day one; allowing you to easily make the move to perpetual KYC, so you can be sure that your client data is always current and compliant.
Our ‘always-on’ regulatory platform removes the requirement for calendar-dated reviews of your clients. There is no need to wait for the next customer review date to carry out ‘know your customer’ (KYC) reviews, because the data in iMeta is constantly refreshed, so is always up-to-date in real-time. When a change in information is identified, your policies will be applied, and your staff will only be notified as and when necessary human intervention is required to review.
A KYC Workflow That Delivers Always-on Compliance
Our proven KYC workflow can be summarised in eight simple steps, working seamlessly to deliver full KYC compliance
Rules engine implements regulatory policies and other data related rules such as data quality and data aggregation
Trigger engine “listens” to incoming data from internal and external data sources and based on rules either updates the record automatically or escalates to operators
What Is KYC?
Know Your Customer (KYC), sometimes referred to as Know Your Client, is the process of identifying and verifying your customer’s identity, both at the beginning of the onboarding process (e.g. when they first open their account) and periodically thereafter throughout the customer lifecycle.
For banks, financial institutions and other companies trading in high-value assets, comprehensive KYC checks are integral for protecting businesses against money laundering.
Why iMeta KYC?
With a 20-year delivery track record, you can trust iMeta to ensure your regulated institution benefits from a fully compliant and robust KYC system. Our fast and reliable KYC software can manage all compliance policies from KYC, Tax, Product regulation, legal requirements and can apply these dynamically as policies and customers change, saving you time and resources.
Full KYC Compliance & Due Diligence
Regulators are taking an increasingly aggressive stance against firms who do not carry out and provide evidence of sufficient and consistently applied due diligence on their customers. Many KYC systems and services only perform the relevant checks at the beginning of the onboarding process. Even those that conduct more frequent KYC checks are often tied to a set routine, which still leaves potentially costly gaps that can be exploited.
In contrast, with iMeta’s automated KYC verification and AML software, you can be assured that your client data is always current for full Know Your Customer compliance. This is because iMeta’s ‘Always-on’ compliance regulatory platform removes the need for calendar-dated reviews of your clients. There is no need to wait for the next customer review date to carry out KYC reviews, because the data in iMeta is constantly refreshed, so is always up-to-date in real-time. When a change in information is identified, your policies will be applied, and your staff will only be notified when necessary human intervention is required to review.
