Advisor KYC - Know your customer

With the help of our service Advisor KYC you can make a general risk assessment for your agency with the help of standardized templates with predefined questions. The KYC (Know your customer) process will help you to get a full overview of your clients identity, create assessments based on the tasks/services you offer to your customers and keep track via automated checks that will help you stay updated with any new company information. The whole process is easily monitored via the Overview, either in Visma Advisor or in the service Advisor KYC, where you will get a full overview of events and deviations so you can take appropriate actions. The charts allow you to monitor the status on how many of your customers that have started a KYC process, are in progress and that have been completed.

The Advisor KYC service consists of the following two parts:

  • General risk assessment for your agency - free of charge

To be prepared if you need to report suspicious activity, register an account at Finanspolisen's portal FipoGoAML. Select to register as a Reporting entity, if your accounting office don't have a registered account. When you report suspicious activity, you will always be protected by anonymity when you report, i.e. your personal information will be kept confidential by Finanspolisen. Even if you decide to not onboard a customer, that you consider as suspicious, this should be reported.
