KYC AML Standards

Definition

KYC AML Standards refer to the Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering regulations that financial institutions and cryptocurrency businesses must follow. KYC involves verifying the identity of clients, while AML aims to prevent illicit financial activities like money laundering and terrorist financing. These standards require businesses to collect and verify customer information and monitor transactions for suspicious patterns. Compliance is mandatory for operating within regulated financial systems.
