Malaysian eKYC Compliance

Discover the digital identity verification and eKYC solution trusted by leading financial institutions worldwide.

BNM eKYC Guidelines

Updated Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) eKYC policies allow banks, financial services and insurers operating in Malaysia to conduct video calls or leverage technology like AI, machine learning and biometrics to onboard customers online. A financial institution may utilize biometric and fraud detection technology to verify a customer’s identity against a government-issued ID and liveness detection technology to ensure the customer is a live subject and not an impersonator.

The Opportunity

With the implementation of eKYC, financial institutions can onboard new customers without requiring them to visit a physical branch. KYC can be performed remotely anytime and anywhere at the customer’s convenience. Allowing digital onboarding opens up greater market opportunities for the banking and financial services sector and facilitates financial inclusion.
