There are a few steps you need to
follow to open a bank account. Some people are confused and stuck during the
KYC (Know Your Customer) process while opening their bank account. In this
article, we would provide you with a few simple steps that you can follow to
complete the process smoothly.
1.
Submit your identity proof
While opening your KYC bank account, the bank would need your identity proof to open your
account. You could submit your AADHAAR card, PAN card, or any other government-issued
document to the bank. You need to submit a copy of these documents to the bank
as they would save it in their database. If you plan to complete the process
online, then you would need to submit a soft copy of these documents to the
bank. A person may also visit your place to verify the documents submitted to
the bank. The bank may not allow you to open a bank account if you are not able
to show them your original documents.
2.
Submit your address proof
You would need to submit your address
proof along with your identity proof while opening your KYC bank account. You
could submit your AADHAR card, PAN card or any other government-issued document
to the bank for your address verification process. The bank would ask you to
submit a copy of these documents as well to the bank. While completing the
process online, you would be asked to submit a copy of these documents and the
bank would send a person to verify these documents.
3.
Complete video KYC
Video KYC is a relatively new process
followed by various banks while opening a KYC bank account online. You would be asked to switch on the camera of
the device you are using to open your bank account. You would be asked
permission by the bank app to access the camera of the device. This process
does not take much time and is generally completed within 2-5 minutes. The
video KYC process is done to make sure that no third party is opening the
account. This helps in reducing fraud and helps maintain the security level of
the bank.
You could contact the customer
service or avail of the help of the bank anytime during your KYC bank account
process. Banks encourage people to complete this process online through the
bank’s app. Money laundering and fraud are limited due to the introduction of
this process by various banks and hence you should opt to complete this process
online through the website or the official app of the bank.
We hope that this article proved to

account process. Thank you!
