What do they mean for KYC in 2023?


The evolving regulatory environment is a continuous challenge but, in 2022, not only did the rules and frameworks change, the underlying expectations of their application and enforcement did too.

Increased technological adoption and the focus on efficient and adaptive processes is itself a focus point in regulatory compliance, meaning that process automation and perpetual KYC (pKYC) are converging with reality.
