KYC Simple turns a famously frustrating process into a guided, one‑sitting experience — document collection, instant verification, e‑signature, and video notarization in one secure flow on your phone.
Know Your Client (KYC) is required by financial regulators across a wide variety of financial products. Its purpose is protective: to keep legitimate financial accounts from being used for money laundering or other illicit activity.
Financial institutions must complete KYC before an account is opened — and continue meeting it on an ongoing basis for as long as the account operates.
What KYC requires comes down to four kinds of verification, each with its own strictly prescribed documents:
Verified identity, supported by government‑issued documents.
Current proof of residence, in the form regulators accept.
Where the money entering the account legitimately came from.
The legitimacy of the businesses and people associated with the account or product.
The information and documents KYC demands are strictly prescribed and rarely intuitive. A document in the wrong format, missing the right certification, or short of a single requirement can send you back to the start — redoing steps and collecting yet more paperwork.
Complex entity structures multiply everything: more parties, more documents, more rules about which document proves what.
The result is the cycle every advisor knows too well: clarify the request, resubmit, wait for review, answer new questions — for weeks or months. It's an opaque and frustrating process for clients, their advisors and the institutions trying to open the accounts. That's why KYC Simple was founded.
Our mission is to make KYC simple for you. Every piece of the process — collection, verification, signing, notarization — happens in one guided flow, tailored to your situation.
The onboarding process is customized to the specific requirements of the jurisdiction and institution — you're only ever asked for what your file actually needs.
A straightforward interface lets you upload or snap pictures of documents from your phone, quickly and easily.
Our proprietary software analyzes each document the moment it arrives — catching errors, clarifying requirements, and notifying you immediately so you can correct issues in the moment instead of days and weeks of back and forth.
Electronic signatures and notarization by video conference are integrated into the same flow — minimizing the delay and protracted back‑and‑forth typical of KYC compliance.
Your data and documents are collected, stored, and shared with the institution from our encrypted hub — and every access is logged.
Unnecessary financial information is automatically redacted before anything is shared.
It arrives by text or email — no account to create, no password to remember. It opens your personal checklist, already tailored to your role.
Photograph each document with your phone. Every upload is validated on the spot, to minimize corrections and redo requests from popping up days later.
Review, sign electronically, and if notarization is required, finish with a brief video notary appointment. Done — if you have your documents and information, it can all be completed in a single sitting.
