FinTech leaders have to juggle a long list of priorities when building their KYC teams. When it’s time to scale quickly, partnering with a talent-focused organization like Bandalier makes building an outsourced KYC team simple.

What is KYC?

KYC is an abbreviation for the phrase ‘Know Your Customer’ or ‘Know Your Client’. It refers to a wide variety of practices used across the financial industry to identify new customers, verify their identity, and validate their transactions. KYC processes protect individuals and institutions from fraud and money laundering.

To complete the KYC process, teams must review the data provided by their customers. In some cases, they may complete additional research on specific customers. The KYC process is supported by a wide range of tools.

When FinTech companies see an influx of new customers, accelerating their KYC process quickly becomes a top priority. Teams of KYC analysts have to be diligent in their review, and periods of high growth can overwhelm small teams. Adding resources is essential for companies that need to quickly onboard a large influx of new customers.

However, hiring new team members comes with its own challenges. Between the difficulty of finding a great fit and the time spent waiting for new hires to onboard, many companies anticipate a ramp time of at least 8 weeks for new hires. If your KYC team is already falling behind, they’ll need help fast.
