Course Description:

In virtual asset regulation, it is extremely important to understand the Know Your Customers (KYC) & Ultimate Beneficial Ownership (UBO) procedures. Both KYC and UBO are important for preventing fraud and money laundering as they provide insight into the identity and ownership of customers and entities. Additionally, they can help ensure compliance with laws and regulations by providing more transparency into customer accounts as well as allowing investments that have gone through due diligence to be distinguished.


LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  1. Explain what are VASPs and the nature of their activities in the market
  2. Discuss the function and importance of KYC and UBO in combating financial crime
  3. Identify steps and requirements during the onboarding of VASPs
  4. Analyse examples of various jurisdictions adhering to the FATF Guidance 2019
  5. Compare the pros and cons of manual vs. automated KYC and UBO check


Do you have any questions regarding the Know Your Customers (KYC) & Ultimate Beneficial Ownership (UBO)?
