What does KYC mean?
KYC(Know Your Customer) means Know your customer. KYC(Know Your Customer) rules mean know your customer rules. KYC (Know Your Customer) rules keep an eye on the source and use of your customer’s funds to ensure that your customer’s operations, etc. are legal and compliant.
KYC (Know Your Customer) is the equivalent of a supervisory system that regulates its own customers and prevents its own customers from committing illegal acts. KYC(Know Your Customer) is also a policy that goes beyond just supervising customers; this regulatory policy also has a binding effect on customers. It’s like the law of the land that says you can’t intentionally hurt someone, so most people are bound to not hurt others. If there were no such laws, there would be many people who would not restrain themselves; they would get into fights.
And in the Internet era, many offline businesses have been moved online, greatly enhancing the efficiency of the process. But there is a problem that comes with it: security.
In the first step, merchants/enterprises/institutions need to solve the “user identity authenticity problem”, such as “is he him?” The next step is to solve the “user’s willingness to confirm”, such as “is he willing?” . This is the most basic and critical risk control step to make sure that the business is genuinely applied by the applicant himself.
However, for many merchants, confirming the user’s true identity is only the foundation for conducting business; the more complex challenge is determining the user’s risk.
As an example, consumer installment has become an important tool for many e-commerce platforms to attract new customers, retain them, and increase GMV. If a user of a platform is buying a high-value item in installment, the merchant has to reduce the platform’s risk by assessing the user’s relevant credit profile in addition to determining the user’s authenticity, the user’s willingness, and so on. So the merchant wants to know more about the user than identifying the user, he wants to know “what kind of a person is the user?”
Understanding your users is the most basic KYC, while profiling them is a further KYC(Know Your Customer).
