Uses and Implementations of KYC
An important part of Blockpass' goals is to provide informative or educational articles around the areas we are involved with, namely cryptocurrencies, blockchains, identity and regulations. One of the most significant topics of conversation arises when looking at Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering regulations.
Though KYC and AML apply to a wide range of industries, we offer insight into how they can be applied to specific areas by examining how they can be used, what issues they solve and where examples can be seen One such article previously focuses on the hospitality industry.
