The IT and financial services sectors in Jersey have enjoyed another boost this week, with the launch of KYCme.com. The result of many years of research and discussion with finance professionals, regulatory bodies and advisors, KYCme.com is an online vault for professionals and individuals that authenticates and stores valued documents that can be accessed in a simple but secure manner.
This market-leading online storage solution is both anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-client (KYC) compliant, thanks to its unique authentication process and it is forecast to become a global, online KYC solution.
The brainchild of a Jersey accountant, Mehul Kotedia and a Jersey Notary Public, Jeremy Johnson, KYCme.com has been made possible following the contribution of many notable Jersey professionals: “We believed there must be a better and more efficient way to retrieve KYC documentation, which is currently an onerous and expensive challenge, particularly if you are working with clients across many jurisdictions,” explains Mr Kotedia.
“We have created a secure, online document storage solution that acts like an online vault. Individuals can use it to store valuable documents, such as passports, contracts, insurance policies, driving licences and certificates for use during the KYC process and for day to day secure storage. Being a web-based solution, these documents can be accessed through due process at anytime, anywhere in the world, as long as there is internet access. Registered individuals can invite their authorised certified intermediaries, for example banks, insurance firms, accountants, lawyers and other professional firms that are regulated or required to fulfil AML requirements, to access specific documents, enabling the KYC process to progress swiftly and efficiently. This is only possible because of the unique authentication system we have in place, which ensures the documentation meets all AML and KYC legal requirements.”
