Why is the KYC/KYB process important?
KYC/B (Know Your Customer/Business) refers to all the regulatory procedures to which banks, regulated institutions and professions are subject.
Governed by European and national legislation, the aim of the procedure is to verify the identity of an end customer (legal or natural person) by analyzing the relevant identity documents or legal documents, such as: national identity card, passport, proof of residence, residence permit, Kbis, company articles of association, etc.
In some cases, the KYC procedure requires at least two of the 6 mandatory additional measures listed in article R561-5-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code to verify customer identity.
In addition, as part of its strategy to initiate business relationships remotely and combat against money laundering and the financing of terrorism (LCB-FT), Treezor carries out filtering such as: PEP Check (Politically Exposed Persons) and Sanctions lists (via queries to independent partner organizations).
Our KYC procedure also complies with FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) and CRS (Common Reporting Standard, a regulation developed by the OECD to promote tax transparency).
Standard KYC/KYB service
As part of its KYC/KYB service, Treezor integrates hybrid, fully dematerialized identity verification. Treezor collects official documents and checks them almost instantaneously, in any format (JPEG, PNG, PDF, etc.). Human analysis then completes this first level of automated verification. This is carried out by a specialized operator, who performs random in-depth checks and also intervenes in the event of anomalies.
Treezor offers an alternative to this first route via a KYC Liveness solution, a video-based document collection service enabling faster verification of the user’s identity.
Regardless of the method chosen to provide identity documents (Standard or KYC Liveness), the end-user must also make a SEPA credit transfer from an EEA (European Economic Area) bank account in his or her name, or carry out some other additional due diligence measure. This last step ensures that the identity of the end-user has been verified by another banking institution.
Certified KYC Liveness solution (PVID-certified video)
Certified Video ID Verification (PVID) is a solution using video via the cell phone camera, and enables remote identity verification of customers, securely, reliably and in compliance with French and European regulatory requirements. This certified verification process is offered by Treezor in partnership with several players, including Ubble, the first remote identity verification provider to be awarded the ANSSI Security Visa. It offers the same level of reliability as the face-to-face process, the so-called substantial verification level, and applies only to natural persons.
Treezor offers you the opportunity to integrate certified KYC Liveness technology (PVID certified video) into your customer journey.
