What is KYC?
Know Your Customer (KYC) is the process of collecting and verifying who a customer is—typically name, date of birth, nationality, and evidence of identity or address—before or while you open an account.
KYC vs AML screening
KYC establishes the customer identity. AML screening checks that identity against sanctions, PEP, and other watchlists. Connect both outcomes to the same customer record for onboarding and investigation.

Frequently asked questions
Answers about screening, risk signals, and Naiza integration.
What does KYC stand for?
KYC means Know Your Customer: collecting and verifying identity so you know who you are onboarding.
How does AML screening fit a KYC workflow?
After identity verification, call the Naiza AML screening API with the collected name and customer identifier. Structured watchlist results support clearance, review, and escalation in the same onboarding flow.
When should KYC and screening run?
Most teams collect core identity first, screen synchronously before activating the account, then re-screen when lists change or a payment counterparty appears.
