Keynote Presentation
KYC 4.0 – Digitally Managed Production Environment
– KYC Organisations across Banks and Financial Institutions are inefficient, lack transparency and are too expensive.
– Just like in manufacturing – a real production environment is essential for KYC Organisations to be efficient.
– Implementation of a real production environment starts with meticulous process tracking and real-time reporting.
– By implementing a strong tracking and reporting infrastructure, inefficiencies and bottlenecks within the organisation will be identified instantly and can be eliminated, saving time, money and resources while increasing quality and avoiding regulatory breaches.
Jakob Hahn is Manager at Passcon Group. He managed several large KYC projects for globally operating private banks and financial institutions. Working for multiple KYC organisations across the financial sector, he has collected a broad understanding of major challenges in the market. With a strong technical background, he is looking for IT solutions to bring full transparency and control into KYC organisations of any size to increase efficiency and drive down costs significantly.
