Confidential KYC
Overview
Confidential KYC, underpinned by Clique's innovative compute coordination network solutions, is transforming the Know Your Customer (KYC) paradigm.

This cutting-edge approach addresses and resolves the inherent challenges of traditional KYC processes, such as privacy intrusions, operational inefficiencies, and security susceptibilities, heralding a transformative era in identity verification.
The Present KYC Conundrum:
Businesses across various sectors, notably finance, legal, and real estate, are bound by stringent Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) regulations, necessitating rigorous Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and identity verifications. However, prevailing KYC methodologies are plagued with complications:
Excessive Data Sharing: Customers frequently divulge an excessive amount of personal data, creating a hotbed for potential privacy infringements.
Centralized Risks: Data amassed within centralized infrastructures elevates the perils of hacking and unauthorized exploitation.
Compliance and Governance Obstacles: The ever-shifting regulatory landscape complicates adherence, while ambiguous enforcement of data protection norms raises serious accountability issues.
