Know Your Customer

Its pretty obvious really, but the requirement to demonstrate that you know your customer is a fundamental rule requirement. You may not be surprised to know that FCA thematic reviews continue to find that standards in this respect are not what they should be.

While this information should be gathered at the fact finding stage of the sales process, ATEB suitability provides the facility to summarise the KYC information and to integrate with back office systems so that the data can be pulled through automatically.
