KYC vs AML

Understanding the Difference

📖 Definition

KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) are related but different concepts. KYC is the process of verifying customer identity — collecting documents, checking databases, verifying faces. AML is the broader framework of laws and procedures to prevent money laundering, of which KYC is one component. Think of KYC as a tool that helps achieve AML compliance.
