IMPROVING KYC IN THE CRYPTOCURRENCY MARKET

The rise of cryptocurrency have led to regulators looking for evolving ways to combat illicit activities. Most of the regulators have resulted to using KYC(Know your customers) to combat illicit activities.

According to Wikipedia, Know your customer (alternatively know your client or 'KYC') is the process of a business identifying and verifying the identity of its clients. The term is also used to refer to the bank and its anti-money laundering(AML) regulations and countering terrorism financing (CTF) which governs these activities.

Traceto.io offers solutions to better the KYC process in the cryptocurrency market.

PROBLEMS WITH THE REGULAR KYC
1.) Most regulators have refused to embrace the E-KYC to combat illicit activities.

Some KYC processes are manual and customers find this tedious as it requires them to fill up series of forms.
Some KYC processes are still done using analog. Analog process has compatibility issues and is usually not successful.

Where does Traceto.io comes in?
Based on experience gotten over the years, the team at Traceto.io came up with 4 fundamental questions for screening that defines how an owner should know its user or customers.
They are:
1.) Who are you?: This is the screening where proofs of identification issued by government are provided.

Who are you not?: This screening is there to serve as protection against potentially high risk customers.
Are you still who you say you are?: This screening paramount to effective AML, CTF and KYC processes. It is necessary to ensure business owners are not dealing with customers who have become non-compliant over time.
What did you do: This screening is supposedly the last stage of KYC as it involves transaction. This is done to help identify suspicious activities and large currency transaction done by the customer.
