KYC: The State Of Play
Seminar
Hans-Joachim von Hänisch, Managing Director Sales and Product Development, KYC Exchange Net AG; and Jim Nelson, Compliance Director, Standard Chartered Bank
Rules, guidelines and recommendations around KYC (Know Your Customer) are neither globally consistent nor prescriptive – all they do is to outline opinions about what is “best practice”. Banks are then left to their own devices and have to develop their own individual policies based on best-practice recommendations. This in turn leads to banks following different paths, all believe their own approach is best, and the more this happens the lower are the chances for an agreed “standard” approach. And cost are going up uncontrollably. The industry needs to get their act together and collaborate in this segment of compliance. To discuss what can be done by whom and how, the Financial Services Club has gathered a number of great perspectives from across the industry.
