The General Secretariat for Public Administration Information Systems of the Ministry of Digital Governance presented “Introduce Yourself – KYC (Know Your Customer)”. The digital process for
providing and updating personal information aims at the prevention of money laundering or terrorist financing in Greek law. The Secretariat reforms the decade old anti-money laundering (AML) framework. Furthermore, aims to impose due diligence measures and Know Your Customer (KYC) practices for a number of service providers, including, inter alia, credit and financial institutions.
This tool, specifically designed and implemented, aims to save time, always ensuring the protection of citizens’ personal data. This process promises secured, digitized and paperwork-free alternative to the process of verification and updating of principal personal and contact information of individuals.
Bank customers can make the necessary updating of their data without the need to be physically present in a branch. All they need is the VAT number and Taxisnet codes.
Individuals can utilize the eGov-KYC application for the purposes of verification of their personal information before a credit or financial institution can access it. They will need their personal TAXISnet passcodes – credentials. Then, the browser will redirect them into the eGov-KYC application. Users will be able to review the particular information that will be forwarded to the correspondent institution.
