What are KYC Regulations in Canada?

The Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act of 2001 (PCMLTFA) primarily applies to financial services businesses, with the aim of combating money laundering and terrorist financing. Compliance is managed by the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC). It outlines the methods that regulated businesses can use to verify the identity of their customers.

How Can Canadian Businesses Verify Identity?

PCMLTFA regulation allows for a number of remote identity verification methods. Users can scan their government ID using a smartphone or electronic device to be analyzed for authenticity, and also take a selfie photo — to be matched against the photo on their ID. So customers can sign-up for financial services in seconds from anywhere.
