AML and KYC: how identity data drives financial crime prevention

AML and KYC are usually written as one term. They are not the same thing.

KYC establishes who a customer is. AML establishes whether that customer’s behaviour makes sense given who they are. One produces the data. The other acts on it. Programs fail more often at the seam between the two than inside either one.

This page covers both frameworks, how they connect in practice, what regulators require now, and where most programs break down. Each section links to a deeper page on the specific control.
