Director KYC typically refers to the role of a Director of Know Your Customer (KYC) within a company or financial institution. KYC is a process that financial institutions and other regulated entities use to verify the identity of their customers and assess potential risks of illegal activities such as money laundering, terrorist financing, or fraud.

The Director KYC is responsible for overseeing and managing the KYC operations and compliance functions within the organization. Their main role is to ensure that the company's KYC policies and procedures are in line with regulatory requirements and industry best practices. They work closely with other departments, such as legal, risk management, and compliance, to develop and implement effective KYC programs.

The specific duties and responsibilities of a Director KYC may vary depending on the organization, but they often include:

• Developing and implementing KYC policies, procedures, and controls.
• Ensuring compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and industry guidelines.
• Conducting risk assessments to identify potential money laundering or other illicit activities.
