KYC Automation for Scale in Varying Jurisdictions
We're expanding into a few new regions, specifically targeting the APAC market, and the varying KYC/AML requirements are proving to be a significant bottleneck for onboarding efficiency. While automation tools promise speed, I'm finding the granular details of regulatory differences in each country still demand substantial manual oversight. Has anyone had success in fully automating KYC processes across multiple, distinct jurisdictions without sacrificing compliance rigor or significantly increasing operational costs?
Ah, the ever-present joy of KYC/AML, where 'automation' often means 'we've just moved the goalposts further down the field.' Good luck fully automating when the regulations are still written by people who think 'the internet' is a passing fad.
