The FIU today (6 October 2023) issued a Guideline on the use of digital ID systems for customer due diligence. In recent times, there has been a notable global trend in the use of eKYC (electronic know-your-customer) solutions to identify and verify customers using available digital ID systems.
The objective of this Guideline is to provide further requirements and guidance to financial institutions on the use of digital ID systems for customer due diligence or eKYC. This Guideline will only apply when a financial institution adopts eKYC processes as part of its customer identification and verification process.
The requirements of the Guideline are enforceable and is effective from 31 January 2024.
