KYC stands for ‘know your customer’, a process carried out by financial institutions and service providers to authenticate their customers. When you apply for a loan, or a credit card, open a new bank account, you share details such as PAN, residential address or date of birth. This is called KYC process. Your personal and contact details that you share are known as your KYC details. It is imperative for the financial institutions to know and authenticate the customer’s identity to prevent fraud, money laundering, illegal financial activities, and misuse of services.
The KYC process is crucial for any investment or banking activity. Certain institutions do periodic KYC updates, the frequency of which depends on the customer's risk profile. A high-risk person will have to update their KYC information more regularly than a low-risk customer.
As per the Reserve Bank of India it is mandatory for all financial service providers (e-wallets, banks, NBFCs, etc.) to carry out KYC for all its customers.
