Know Your Customer is the process of verifying client identity and risk information before regulated activity proceeds.

What It Is

Know Your Customer is the process of verifying client identity and risk information before regulated activity proceeds. This stub exists to classify the term cleanly, set its boundary, and route the user to the correct adjacent concepts without over-expanding into duplicate depth.

What It Is Not

It is not optional admin padding; it is part of the regulated control layer around property activity.

Where It Sits In Process

This term belongs at the client-onboarding stage before service delivery or transaction execution. The stub should classify that position clearly and then route to the adjacent pages that carry the rest of the explanatory load.
