KYC means Know Your Customer, a process used to confirm customer identities and assess potential financial crime risks. Businesses may review identity documents, addresses, ownership information and account activity to support compliance, detect suspicious behaviour and maintain safer commercial relationships.
Customer due diligence involves collecting and reviewing information about customers before establishing or continuing business relationships. It commonly includes identity verification, beneficial ownership checks, risk classification and ongoing monitoring to help organisations recognise suspicious behaviour and meet anti-money laundering obligations.
KYC is the broader framework organisations use to identify customers and manage relationship risks. CDD is a central part of that framework, focusing on verification, beneficial ownership, risk assessment and monitoring. Together, they support regulatory compliance and financial crime prevention.
Yes, this KYC and CDD course suits beginners, career changers and employees seeking compliance knowledge. It introduces terminology before addressing customer checks, AML requirements, data privacy, industry regulations and evolving verification methods, so previous compliance experience is unnecessary for enrolment.
Learners examine KYC principles, customer due diligence, anti-money laundering controls, UK data privacy rules and industry responsibilities. They also study customer identification, verification methods, risk assessment and developments that may influence the future delivery of financial compliance programmes across industries.
