Read the BigPay case studyWhat are the eKYC requirements in Malaysia?
Malaysia’s Central Bank (Bank Negara Malaysia) has published a policy document detailing the necessity for businesses to be able to conduct eKYC to safely onboard users. It also laid out specific requirements to be followed while using eKYC technologies. Onfido can help you navigate eKYC requirements from proof of address to ongoing monitoring and everything in between.
How can Malaysian businesses verify identity?
BNM regulation allows for remote identity verification methods, where users can scan their government ID & facial biometrics using a smartphone or electronic device. This information will be processed via Onfido’s leading AI-technology and trained document fraud analysts to ensure the user is authentic and who they claim to be. Approved customers can then sign-up for financial services in seconds from anywhere.
