How does data security work for outsourced KYC?

KIAA works within your secure systems and follows strict confidentiality protocols. Customer data never leaves your environment. All KIAA personnel are bound by confidentiality agreements and operate under your data governance framework.

What does KIAA's managed KYC service cover?

KIAA's managed KYC service covers the complete customer due diligence lifecycle: identity verification; Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) identification; Standard CDD for low-risk customers; Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) for high-risk customers including PEPs; sanctions and PEP screening; adverse media checks; ongoing monitoring and periodic review; KYC refresh cycles; and maintained audit trails for regulatory inspection.

What is Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) and when is it required in the UAE?

Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) is a heightened level of customer scrutiny required by UAE regulations for higher-risk customers. EDD is required for Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), customers from high-risk FATF jurisdictions, customers with complex ownership structures, and any customer whose activity suggests elevated money laundering or terrorist financing risk.

Which types of UAE businesses use KIAA's outsourced KYC service?

KIAA provides managed KYC services to banks, exchange houses, insurance companies, asset managers, fintech companies, payment service providers, real estate brokers, law firms, and other entities regulated by CBUAE, ADGM, DFSA, or SCA in the UAE. The service scales to any business size.
