E-KYC

Electronic Know Your Customer

Simplify your auditing and financial transactions with effortless precision and ease.

Thailand adheres to established standards for identity verification known as e-KYC (Electronic Know Your Customer). This process, a form of Digital Onboarding, ensures the secure facilitation of online transactions. These standards are defined by the Electronic Transactions Development Agency (ETDA), which has adopted guidelines aligning with Special Publication 800-63A – Digital Identity Guidelines – Enrollment and Identity Proofing, as outlined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This framework is employed to comply with international standards and uphold the regulations of the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) in Thailand.

E-KYC

Electronic Know Your Customer
What's E-KYC?

When developing an electronic Know Your Customer (e-KYC) system, strict adherence to international verification standards is crucial. E-KYC, considered the most secure among these standards, plays a pivotal role in preventing identity theft and closely monitoring financial transactions. This is particularly vital due to the sophisticated capabilities of cybercriminals exploiting vulnerabilities. E-KYC’s identity verification significantly complicates malicious actions, with two key components: the Identity Assurance Level (IAL) and the Authenticator Assurance Level (AAL), determining reliability and authenticity in the verification process, respectively.
