Why is KYC regulation important?

The regulation is necessary because it helps to protect financial institutions and their customers from financial crimes that can have serious consequences, including loss of money, damage to reputations, and even harm to national/international security.

The regulation helps to promote transparency and accountability in financial transactions, which helps to build trust in the financial system.

It also helps to ensure that financial institutions comply with other regulations, such as anti-money laundering laws (AML) and tax laws.

It also impacts individuals and businesses that use financial services provided by these institutions. It is is especially important for high-risk customers, such as those who are politically exposed, those who live in high-risk countries, or those who have unusual financial activities.
