AML/KYC standards are regulatory requirements financial institutions must follow to prevent illicit financial activities. Anti-Money Laundering (AML) aims to stop criminals from disguising illegally obtained funds as legitimate income. Know Your Customer (KYC) involves verifying the identity of clients to assess potential risks. These measures collectively work to deter fraud, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes within traditional and digital asset markets.
