Student KYC Identity Verification is a mandatory process by which the identities of students in different educational programs are verified. Especially, the students applying for foreign education come from different jurisdictions. In this case, the risk of illicit activities through identity theft increases. This blog discusses the concepts of Student KYC, Distance Learning, and major requirements for Student ID Verification. KYC (Know Your Customer) is the process of customer onboarding in businesses and other organizations. KYC is the basis of identity verification that ensures the implementation of Anti-Money Laundering regulations organization-wide. KYC Identification is a stepwise procedure having 4 main steps: Customer Acceptance Policy (CAP): Ensuring that the customer has agreed to share his personal information and data for customer identification. It is also called Customer’s consent or user’s consent. Customer Identification Program (CIP): It contains identity verification procedures through different technologies such as biometric verification, document verification, etc. Customer Due Diligence (CDD): Risk assessment is done through different levels of customer due diligence (CDD). If the risk is greater, Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) is performed with added KYC Checks. Ongoing Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of onboarded customers’ identities for updated information and transaction monitoring for detecting risky activities is mandatory.
