Customer Due Diligence/Know Your Customer ( CDD/KYC)
The qualification of risk in CDD/KYC (Customer Due Diligence/Know Your Customer) refers to the process of assessing the level of risk associated with a particular customer or transaction. It is an essential step in compliance and anti-money laundering efforts for financial institutions, as it helps to identify potential risks and prevent fraud, money laundering, and other illicit activities. The risk qualification typically involves a series of checks and verifications of the customer's identity, source of funds, and other relevant information to ensure that they are legitimate and pose a minimal risk to the institution. The level of risk is usually classified into low, medium, or high, and the appropriate measures are taken accordingly.
