Overview 


VKYC stands for ‘Video Know Your Customer’ which is one of the products of Signzy developed with a combination of IO (Investor Onboarding) / GO (Generic Onboarding) and VCIP  (Video-based Customer Identification Procedure). 


Signzy uses VKYC for onboarding customers digitally with the help of banking representatives over the video call.
