The market at the moment is such that it increasingly demands innovation and personalized financial technology services. Financial institutions now cannot ignore these demands or else they risk losing out on customers to the competition. This has forced banks to keep up with the trends.<\/span><\/span> One such big trend in the last two years, has been video KYC<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For most organizations today, data security and customer identification are of utmost importance. It helps them understand the risk associated with each customer. This process of collecting a customer\u2019s identity, verifying it and performing due diligence on the data is called Know Your Customer (KYC). Although inevitable, KYC ends up adding an extra layer of effort & time to the customer acquisition and onboarding process. From the organization’s viewpoint, it requires them to hire additional<\/span> resources for the KYC process, and that implies incremental costs. Also, the organization risks the customer losing interest due to a prolonged onboarding process. Hence, organizations are constantly on the lookout for innovative technologies to make this process easier.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is video KYC?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, a KYC process typically entailed either a customer walking into a branch or checking for an agent\u2019s availability for a home visit and producing their ID\/address proof, photograph, etc., post which either of the two consequences follows: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Some organizations collect the documents and manually check with the Government database the sanctity of the information provided. This process is paper-based, takes much longer and even results in multiple visits by the customer.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. On the other hand, <\/span>eKYC<\/span> is a more popular mode now. Here, a customer visits the branch, and his documents are scanned by the representative, a photograph is clicked live, and the information is entered in an application that is connected to the Government database for verification.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The second approach is clearly more cost-effective and convenient for both parties. But do you think the digitally native customer of today would appreciate a visit to the branch? <\/span>Definitely <\/span>not<\/span>. Customers are now more used to using apps on their mobile\/tablet for all the transactions. While they care for privacy and security as much as the organization itself, they <\/span>would appreciate a quicker <\/span>solution to the problem<\/span>. <\/span>A<\/span> lot of <\/span>industries <\/span>like insurance, banking, microfinancing, etc. are using biometrics, facial recognition as alternate tools or even building their own <\/span><\/span>video KYC<\/span><\/span> processes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This process is now getting further enhanced <\/span>by using Video all the way! Companies & KYC solution providers are embedding real-time video calls within their <\/span>eKYC<\/span> solutions and making them <\/span>vKYC<\/span> a<\/span> powered one<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    EnableX as a full-stack CPaaS<\/a> and communications API provider facilitates your apps\/software to have embedded video capabilities in the KYC & customer identity verification process. This, in turn, enables your customers to complete video KYC online from wherever they are. This can be done in one of the two ways-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Self-service KYC- <\/strong>This experience is akin to filling out a video-based questionnaire wherein a pre-recorded process flashes a requirement on your screen, which one needs to fulfil in real-time. After submitting the basic details like ID\/address proofs, it dynamically asks a few questions to which the user\u2019s responses are recorded. In the end, the user can review responses and submit the information. Due diligence is performed on the recorded data by the organization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Interactive KYC- <\/strong>Alternatively, the customer can get into a video call with the representative who can verify the information uploaded and authenticate the customer in real-time. Not only is video KYC a quicker process, but its real-time remote verification also delivers a smooth and convenient experience.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
