Read the UnionBank case studyWhat are the kyc requirements in the Philippines?
Philippines’s Central Bank (Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas) has key anti-money laundering laws, rules, and regulations in place. It also regulates electronic KYC procedures to ensure businesses are able to onboard users remotely in a safe and secure manner. These rules are outlines in The Manual of Regulations for Banks (MORB) and The Manual of Regulations for Non-Bank Financial Institutions (MORNBFI).
How can businesses in the Philippines verify identity?
MORB/MORNBFI allows for remote identity verification methods, where users can scan their government ID and face using a smartphone or webcam. This information can be processed by third-parties to ensure the user is authentic and who they claim to be, meaning customers can sign-up for financial services in seconds from anywhere.
