Frequently Asked Questions
What are KYC and AML?
Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) programs are compliance processes designed to protect financial transactions.
- KYC involves verifying the identity of clients to ensure they are who they claim to be.
- AML focuses on detecting and preventing illegal activities such as money laundering or the financing of terrorism.
Together, these programs help IATS maintain transparency, security, and trust in financial and business transactions.
