Account Opening and KYC
In this chapter, we will move from investment capabilities to operational capabilities. We will learn about the typical information required by Robo-advisors and custodians for opening accounts. As part of that process, we will learn about some techniques for validating information provided by investors. We will also try to digitally sign documents hands-on and use some artificial intelligence (AI) to read identity documents uploaded by investors. Finally, we will look at an overall know your customer (KYC) process and try some anti-money laundering (AML) checks hands-on.
In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following topics:
- Learning about the typical information required to open investment accounts
- Understand the KYC workflow
