캐나다의 KYC 규정에는 어떤 것이 있습니까?
Governed by the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA) and enforced by the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC), the Canadian KYC requirements are intended to help regulated organizations combat money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, and other financial crimes by requiring these organizations to understand who their customers are and assess potential risks.
Today, KYC compliance extends beyond identity verification alone. Canadian organizations may be required to perform CDD, verify beneficial ownership information, conduct sanctions and politically exposed person (PEP) screening, and maintain ongoing monitoring programs to identify suspicious activity throughout the customer relationship.
캐나다의 비즈니스에서는 어떻게 신원을 확인할 수 있습니까?
Canadian businesses can satisfy identity verification requirements through a range of remote and digital verification methods, including document verification, biometric verification, trusted data sources, and other risk-based solutions. FINTRAC's framework supports digital approaches that enable secure onboarding while helping organizations meet KYC and anti-money laundering (AML) requirements.
Organizations increasingly use customers' government-issued identity documents in combination with biometric verification to establish confidence that an individual is who they claim to be. Additional measures such as sanctions screening, politically exposed person (PEP) checks, fraud detection signals, and ongoing monitoring can further strengthen CDD programs and help identify higher-risk customers.
