Know Your Customer (KYC)

B
Written by Blessing Osawe-Abu

TrustID’s KYC service is a digital identity verification solution that helps businesses confirm who their customers are, mainly to meet Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and compliance requirements.

⚙️ How it works

It combines automated technology with human review to verify identity:

  • Document verification – checks passports, driving licences, ID cards for authenticity

  • Facial recognition & liveness – matches a selfie to the ID and confirms the person is present

  • Data checks – verifies address and personal data against external sources

  • PEP & sanctions screening – checks if individuals are politically exposed or on sanctions lists

  • Ongoing monitoring – continues to flag risk after onboarding (if required)
