What is eKYC?
eKYC stands for Electronic Know Your Customer, and is the process of identifying and verifying a customer through electronic means.
eKYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) is the remote, paperless process that minimises the costs and traditional bureaucracy necessary in KYC processes.
It is done by going through a series of checks implemented in stages, which will verify that customers are who they say they are.
How to do eKYC
To do eKYC you will need to use either a valid ID Card or Passport. You will be instructed to take a 5-second video of the front of your ID card or the passport page with your information, followed by a 5-second video selfie of yourself.
