Definition of Video KYC

Video KYC (Know Your Customer) is an electronic method for verifying a customer’s identity through a live video call. This process allows institutions to authenticate customers remotely, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards while enhancing the convenience and speed of customer onboarding.

Evolution of KYC Practices

Traditional KYC involved manual verification of physical documents, often requiring customers to visit branches. This method was not only time-consuming but also prone to errors and fraud. With technological advancements, KYC practices have evolved significantly. The introduction of Digital KYC and subsequently video KYC has revolutionised the verification process, making it more secure, efficient, and user-friendly.

How Video KYC Works?

The video KYC process involves several key steps to ensure a secure and efficient verification of customer identity:

 

  1. Initiation: The customer begins the video KYC process through a secure online portal or mobile app. They are required to provide initial information and consent for the video KYC process.
  2. Scheduling: Customers can schedule a live video call with a KYC representative or join an available session immediately.
  3. Live Video Call: During the call, the KYC representative verifies the customer’s identity by checking their documents and comparing them with the individual present on the video.
  4. Document Verification: The customer is asked to display their identification documents (e.g., Aadhaar, passport, driver’s licence) to the camera. Advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology is used to extract and verify information from these documents.
  5. Liveness Check: The representative performs a liveness check to ensure the person on the call is real and physically present. This step involves asking the customer to perform certain actions, such as blinking or turning their head.
  6. Data Capture and Storage: The session is recorded, and relevant data is securely stored for compliance and future reference.

Benefits of Video KYC

  • Efficiency and Speed

Video KYC significantly reduces the time required for customer verification. The entire process, from initiation to completion, can be conducted within minutes, compared to days or weeks for traditional KYC methods. This efficiency not only accelerates customer onboarding but also enhances operational workflows, allowing institutions to handle higher volumes of verifications without compromising accuracy.

 

  • Improved Customer Experience

By enabling remote verification, video KYC offers a seamless and convenient experience for customers. They can complete the process from the comfort of their homes, without the need to visit a physical branch or submit physical documents. This convenience is particularly beneficial in the context of the ongoing digital transformation, where customer expectations for fast and efficient service are higher than ever.

 

  • Enhanced Security and Fraud Prevention

Video KYC incorporates advanced technologies such as AI, biometric authentication, and OCR to ensure robust security measures. These technologies help detect and prevent fraudulent activities by verifying the authenticity of documents and the identity of the person in real time. The liveness check further enhances security by ensuring that the individual is physically present and not using pre-recorded videos or photos.

According to a report, the video KYC market is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 20% from 2021 to 2027, driven by the increasing demand for secure and efficient customer verification solutions. This growth underscores the significant benefits and trust in video KYC as a reliable method for identity verification.

Video KYC Regulations in India

RBI Guidelines

In India, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has established comprehensive guidelines for video KYC, specifically through the Video-Based Customer Identification Process (V-CIP). Key elements of these regulations include:

  1. Secure Video Calls: The V-CIP mandates the use of encrypted video calls to ensure the privacy and security of customer data during the verification process.
  2. Geotagging: The customer’s location must be verified using geotagging to ensure they are physically present in India during the video call.
  3. Document Verification: Customers are required to display their identification documents during the video call. These documents are verified in real-time using OCR technology to extract and authenticate the information.
  4. Liveness Check: A liveness check is performed to confirm that the customer is physically present and not using pre-recorded videos or images. This step may include actions such as blinking or turning the head.
  5. Facial Recognition: The captured images are compared with the photographs on the provided identification documents using facial recognition technology to ensure a match.
  6. Audit Trail: The entire process is recorded and stored securely, providing an audit trail that ensures compliance with regulatory requirements.

Key Features of AuthBridge’s Video KYC

  1. Liveness Detection: Ensures the physical presence of the customer during the verification process, preventing fraud through pre-recorded videos or images.
  2. OCR Technology: Automatically extracts data from identity documents, reducing manual errors and speeding up the verification process. This technology is particularly useful for verifying PAN cards and other government-issued IDs.
  3. Geotagging: Confirms the customer’s location, ensuring they are physically present in India during the video call, which is a regulatory requirement.
  4. AI and Biometric Authentication: Uses artificial intelligence and biometric data such as facial recognition to enhance security and accuracy. These technologies help in detecting fraudulent activities by verifying the authenticity of the customer’s identity in real time.

How does AuthBridge’s Video KYC work?

  1. Customer Application Initiation: The customer initiates the video KYC process through an online portal or a mobile app. This step involves the customer providing initial information and consenting to the video KYC process.
  2. Instant PAN Card OCR and Verification: The system uses OCR technology to instantly verify the customer’s PAN card. This step involves scanning the PAN card and extracting the relevant information automatically.
  3. Aadhaar Verification: The customer’s Aadhaar details are verified either through OTP-based eKYC or offline Aadhaar verification. This ensures that the customer’s identity is verified against a reliable government database.
  4. Geolocation Tracking: The system tracks the customer’s geographical location to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. This step involves using GPS technology to geotag the customer’s location during the video call.
  5. Agent Assignment: An agent is automatically assigned to conduct the video verification. The agent is responsible for verifying the customer’s identity by checking their documents and comparing them with the individual present on the video call.
  6. Random Question Verification: During the video call, the agent asks random questions to the customer to ensure they are physically present and attentive. This step involves asking the customer to perform certain actions, such as blinking or turning their head, to confirm their liveness.
  7. Liveness Check and Screenshot Capture: The system captures screenshots and performs a liveness check to confirm the customer’s identity. This step ensures that the customer is not using pre-recorded videos or images.
  8. KYC Verification Report Generation: A comprehensive report is generated and securely stored for compliance and future reference. This report includes details of the video KYC process, including the customer’s identity verification and the results of the liveness check.
