help me find a KYC related post?

[aragon]

For the life of me I can't find a post that was recently made here (within the last year I think) in a thread wherein KYC or compliance was being discussed. The post was a genius listing of questions for a customer to send to their bank as a counter to their ridiculous KYC questions. I believe it was in jest, but it was semi realistic and rather brilliant. Any one remember? I've tried searching with Google and the forum's search tool, but no luck.

Im only glad if people are following this advice and be more cautious with sharing their personal data.

Share this with your friends and loved ones. Show them that you really care:


Subject: Request for Verification of Identity and Employment

Dear [Compliance Officer's Name],

I hope this message finds you well.

I recently received a communication from you in your capacity as a Compliance Officer, requesting some personal documents of mine. I understand the significance of your role in maintaining regulatory standards within your banking institution, and I'm ready to cooperate to the best of my ability.

However, considering the sensitive nature of the information requested, it is necessary for me to verify your identity and position within the bank. This is merely a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of my personal information, in line with common data protection principles and regulations.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide the following documentation for verification:

1) A copy of your identification: Please note, this should not include sensitive details such as your full social security number or ID number. Information such as your full name, photo, and expiration date should suffice.
2) A selfie to match the photo ID provided.
3) Proof of your employment as a Compliance Officer within your banking institution. This could be a recent pay stub, a letter of employment, or any other document showing your current employment status.
4) To further authenticate your identity, I will also contact your bank directly and inquire about your employment status. For that purpose, I request the best contact number for your HR department or immediate supervisor.

Please note that the requested documents will solely be used for verification purposes and will not be stored or shared with any third parties.

I hope you understand that this step is in line with best practices to prevent fraudulent activities, and is not a reflection of mistrust in you personally.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Once your identity and position have been verified, I would be more than willing to provide the documents you have requested.

Kind regards,

[Your Name]

[Your Contact Information]

Yes!! I've bookmarked it now. Honestly it should probably be a forum sticky.

Thank you!
