@Kelly *********

Any idea about sites for remote customers service?

@Jim **********

LOL, don't worry no one would rent you, or take your pimping services at expense of a THAI woman, but they may def pay you to keep your bigotry & entitled colonialist mindset up your rearside ?! 😆

Don't worry about me, I'm def not for sale, let alone for rent ?!

@Jim **********

Bottom Line:

KYC is "universal in banking", but "NOT in public awareness". Since each country implements it differently (and "rarely calls it "KYC"), foreigners often only learn about it when they’re forced to comply.

KYC Exists Everywhere, But It’s Rarely Called "KYC" in Daily Life

- In many countries, banks and financial institutions don’t explicitly use the term "KYC" when dealing with customers.

- Instead, they say:

- **"Identity Verification"** (US, Europe)

- **"Account Opening Requirements"**

- **"Proof of Address"**

- **"Customer Due Diligence (CDD)"** (formal term in EU/UK)

- So, unless someone works in finance, they may "never hear the term "KYC" even though they go through the process.

Digital vs. Traditional Banking Differences

- **India’s fintech boom** made KYC a common term (thanks to Paytm, PhonePe, gpay, HumpDay etc.).

- But in **Western countries**, traditional banks "hide KYC behind "security checks" without explaining it."

- Neobanks (Revolut, N26, Chime) simplify it but still don’t always call it "KYC."

Language & Cultural Barriers..

- A Spanish speaker in Germany may not recognize **"KYC"** but understands "Identitätsprüfung" (ID check).

- In some countries, "no public awareness campaigns" explain KYC (unlike India, where Aadhaar-linked services made it mainstream).

Why Does This Confusion Happen?

- Banks assume customers "just know" what documents are needed.

- Regulators don’t enforce simple terminology—just compliance.

- Most people don’t care about KYC until it stops them

Can elaborate further, but you get the drift...

👍

P.S -- let's have some cheapster fun as well, no harm there, is there in living?😉

@Nongnuch *******

kudos, you're PRECISION REDNECK 👍

@Satvik ********

terms ? What terms ??

Ah, you mean basic courtesy?

Precisely, Either the English accent is funny or the grammar is funny or both. & if folks treated each other with basic courtesy & accepted difference, things could go long way...

@Goel *******

take a chill pill, your English was funny and smhw your tantrums too - & that's why folks getting a tad bit rowdy.

& Please KYC is Indi term and least you could do is explain briefly WTF it even means.

I agree many a folks have a default colonial superiority Bug they're not aware of, & even worse that colonial history wasn't taught to them right, But well those are the Truths currently folks need to deal with including you.

@Jeff ******

it's horrendous* if you wanna be a Grammar Nazi.

& if it's a rant, so be it 😅

WhoTF cares when sh*te is spewed by a coward behind some face a$$ account.

Take a look at my other reply to your vile comment elsewhere in this thread👍

Cheers .

@Jeff ******

hope this clip shows the hypocrisy yall stew in



Understand one thing My dear Jeff (patronising you ofcourse), humans have created boundaries & its not a Natural phenomenon. So what you claim to be natural of the OTHER you referred to, can as well be the culture of yours albeit in different ways & forms.

Point being Social ills pervade all societies of course, irrespective of the man-made borders.

The Bone I'm picking here, is something related to the appalling attitudes where English Teachers aren't solely sought based on competencies.

It's something that you'll never understand simply because you "luckily" birthed yourself in a progressive society but with an innately arrogant and regressive mind, of course.

Cheers 🍸 🍻

P.S -- you know your own hypocrisy when you have to comment from a fake A$$ account. I'm sure you have a dungeon as a basement doing all the cr@p that you have mentioned 😉

& you're so incorrect about the cultures you're trying to refer to (All Brown skin folks arent your HABIBI friends) - what a waste of time some Caucasians can be ?! (Bad apples everywhere)
