KYC For Hospitality
KYC is required to ensure safe standards and practices of the customer onboarding processes of the hospitality industry are met.
From passport control at airports and borders to the provision of identification at hotels or on cruises, methods of ensuring customers are who they claim to be is vital to prevent abuse of the services by those seeking to take advantage of them. Bringing KYC efficiency into the hospitality space, providing travelers and guests with individualized experiences and enhances their sojourns and holidays.
As a lot of procedures in the hospitality industry including check-ins and loyalty programs are all online which makes data security more difficult. Imagine if customers provide their passport and ID information ahead of time with all necessary information (scan of the passport picture, loyalty program membership), how much time will it save at the airports and hotels? Once onboarded, customers can quickly access their loyalty program information, it will be a seamless experience from check-ins to enjoying services of the hotels as their information has already been verified and authenticated. By reducing the human contact of information, it will enhance the privacy and security of personal information.
These attributes also make such a solution perfect for new and developing hospitality businesses models such as AirBnB and other services like it – being able to remotely verify and even add in access to areas based on preset conditions enables customer-centric solutions to thrive.
