Verified with
Central KYC Registry
You receive
Most financial customers already have a KYC record in the central registry. The CKYC Search & Download API checks for a record, returns the CKYC identifier and lets you pull the full record once the customer authorises it, cutting onboarding from days of paperwork to a single consent step.
Regulated entities use it both to onboard faster and to satisfy the obligation to check the registry before creating a fresh record.
Consent is part of the contract
Searching confirms existence only. Downloading the record requires the customer's authorisation, which is captured and stored with the request.
Look up an existing central KYC record and reuse it with consent.
Reuse verified KYC instead of collecting documents again.
Checks the registry before a new record is created, as required.
Identity, address and photo in one download.
Authorisation stored alongside the download.
