KYC – Corroboration duty

Failure to properly verify customer information is one of the most common reasons financial intermediaries face sanctions from FINMA. This e-learning course focuses on the critical process of KYC (Know Your Customer) corroboration, highlighting its importance not just as a regulatory requirement but also as a key safeguard against financial crime, reputational damage, and business risk.

Participants will explore the legal and regulatory foundations of KYC, learn what information needs to be verified, and discover how to use reliable public sources to support due diligence.

By the end of the course, learners—especially those working in front-office roles—will have the knowledge and practical tools needed to apply KYC corroboration principles confidently and effectively in their daily work, helping their organization stay compliant and protected.
