KYC Automation for Global Retail FX/CFD
Starting to look into vendor solutions for KYC/AML on-boarding for a new retail FX/CFD broker. We're targeting multiple jurisdictions, some with stricter requirements than others. What are people's experiences with the level of automation these platforms genuinely provide versus what's advertised, especially when dealing with varied regulatory landscapes? Seems like a lot promise full automation, but I'm curious about the real-world hitches and manual intervention needed for $EURUSD or $GBPUSD traders in say, APAC versus EU.
It's tough. The 'full automation' is often just for the simplest cases. For complex multi-jurisdiction setups, you'll still need a robust manual review process for edge cases and high-risk profiles, no matter what they promise.
