If you have never been a victim of data manipulation or identity manipulation, then you may not understand the true importance of KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) regulations. Day in day out we hear or see Individuals lamenting how they have been scammed with another person's identity, this is becoming a trend in this current era, thus the need of combat against it.
Yes, KYC and AML are very important but a study has shown that most organizations shy away from it owing to the costs associated with it. Top organizations can freely tackle the associated cost while growing organizations can't.
The issue is not performing KYC but making sure that the data collected is secured and protected, this is one shortcoming associated with centralized systems, thus most times users data are still leaked.
