The evolution of key sectors such as banking, insurance, healthcare, and fintech, among others, has made it clear that identity verification can no longer be a one-time event. It must be a continuous, dynamic, and adaptive process. In this context, Perpetual Know Your Customer (pKYC) is gaining increasing relevance as the most effective way to ensure security, regulatory compliance, and real-time risk prevention.
At Facephi, we understand that this approach is not just a trend: it’s a strategic response to the demands of an environment where data is constantly changing and threats evolve in seconds. With pKYC, we move from a static verification process to continuous monitoring of the customer profile, ensuring that their identity is always up-to-date, complying with changing regulations, and anticipating fraud before it occurs.
What is pKYC and why is continuous identity verification becoming so important?
Unlike traditional KYC processes, which are updated periodically, pKYC provides constant monitoring of the customer profile. This allows for the instant identification of any relevant change or suspicious behavior.
At Facephi, we combine advanced technologies like AI, behavioural biometrics, and real-time analytics to build a technological architecture capable of adapting, learning, and responding. This dynamic and continuous approach is crucial to ensure that organizations can respond immediately to any risk or fraud attempt while providing a smooth and uninterrupted user experience.
Why is it the right time to implement pKYC?
- Continuous compliance with regulations: adapting to a changing environment
KYC, AML, and GDPR regulations are constantly evolving. While traditional approaches only allow compliance at specific times, pKYC ensures ongoing adherence to current regulations. Our solutions automatically update profiles, eliminating the need for manual audits and minimizing the risk of non-compliance.
- Real-time risk assessment: anticipating fraud
Threats are becoming more sophisticated and faster. pKYC allows for the analysis of behavioral data and transactions in real-time to identify unusual patterns that may indicate fraudulent activities. This ability to respond immediately enhances security and prevents damage before it happens.
- Continuous verification throughout the relationship
Perpetual Know Your Customer ensures that the identity is not only validated at the beginning but remains updated throughout the entire customer lifecycle. With Facephi, solutions are designed to provide continuous verification, reducing the risk of fraud and keeping organizations aligned with regulations that require constant profile updates.
- Operational efficiency: lower cost, greater accuracy
pKYC significantly reduces the operational burden and costs associated with manual verification and periodic audits. By automating verification processes and data updates, companies can optimize resources, allowing compliance teams to focus on the most critical cases. Moreover, data accuracy is increased, minimizing human errors that could jeopardize compliance.
The technology behind pKYC: advanced solutions for continuous verification
Real-time analytics and behavioural biometrics
Our technology continuously analyzes how each user interacts, from typing patterns to navigation behavior. These micro-behaviors help detect subtle changes that could indicate impersonation attempts or fraud. This analysis seamlessly integrates into the user experience without requiring additional actions from the user.
Passive laveness and advanced biometrics
Passive liveness is a technology that automatically detects whether a person is present during authentication, without the need for specific movements or following instructions. This ensures the user is physically present without disrupting their experience. Along with our advanced biometric algorithms, this technology allows for continuous, natural, and secure identity validation.
The benefits of implementing pKYC in your business
- Constant protection against fraud and identity theft: constant protection against fraud and identity theft, especially in sectors like banking, fintech, insurance and healthcare, where continuous verification is essential.
- Automatic adaptation to new regulations and regulatory changes.
- Reduced operational costs and greater compliance efficiency.
- Improved user experience, eliminating friction in every interaction.
- Increased customer trust, knowing their identity is always protected.
