I’ve worked in KYC/KYB/AML for over 20 years, and I still see the same dangerous assumption: ID document + database checks = “AML check covered.” Too many companies are happy to accept ID documents sent over email and never meet the customer, then reassure themselves because they run address / PEP / sanctions checks. Sounds sensible, until you look at how easy those checks are to beat. Case in point: a colleague I’ve known for about a year gave me a photo of her passport for a work trip together. I know her full name, DOB and address. If I put on my fraudster hat, I can create a domain email, send her passport image, and most automated checks would green-light her identity. No FATF watchlist hit, address matches, done. It’s shockingly simple. That’s why relying on static/emailed ID documents and database matches is reckless. Biometric liveness checks aren’t a gimmick; they’re a pragmatic control that proves a real person is present during verification. If your verification flow still feels safe because “we run checks,” it’s worth asking: could someone impersonate your customer with information you already have? If the answer is yes, you need better controls and we’re happy to help. Credas #estateagents #accountants #legal #law #aml #kyc #kyb #compliance
