What is KYC?
KYC stands for "Know Your Customer". It is a mandatory process/check that ensures the legitimacy of users by verifying their identity and preventing fraudulent activities. This process involves providing certain documentation and personal information.
Company account verification requires KYC information from all persons with significant control of a particular company.
