KYC

KYC (Know Your Customer) is the process of verifying client identity, address and beneficial ownership before onboarding to satisfy AML and regulatory rules.

KYC is mandatory in most regulated industries — accounting, legal, banking, real estate. It is the document-collection step that opens an engagement.

A KYC pack typically includes a government ID, an address proof, beneficial ownership confirmation for corporate clients, and source-of-funds evidence where required.

In RequestLoops, KYC is modelled as a request template per client type: every required item is a structured field, file or signature. Reminders chase the missing items, AI validation flags blank pages or wrong-page uploads, and submitted documents sync to Drive or OneDrive for archival.

Recurring KYC reviews run on an annual cadence using RequestLoops recurring runs.
