Resume
What this agent does
The KYC / AML Verification Agent AI performs the automated checks that underpin every customer's identity verification at LendingIQ — national ID / eIDAS verification via eIDAS-compliant services, cross-document consistency checks, and prior KYC record matching, and cross-field consistency verification across all identity documents. It produces a structured KYC / AML verification report that tells the onboarding team exactly what was checked, what was found, and whether the KYC / AML file is complete, needs additional information, or cannot proceed. It does not accept a customer's KYC / AML — that is a human-authorised act recorded in the prior KYC registry.
Primary functions
National ID / eIDAS Verification
Every individual applicant — synchronousInvoked when: applicant submits national ID / eIDAS and consent for identity verification during onboarding
- Verifies the national ID via eIDAS-compliant identity services or national digital ID schemes — confirming the ID is valid and matches applicant name and date of birth. Liveness detection in the Fraud Detection Agent AI confirms the applicant is physically present. A successful authentication confirms the national ID / eIDAS number is valid and belongs to the person who received the OTP on the registered mobile number. It does not verify that the person using the device is the person whose national ID / eIDAS was authenticated — that is the role of liveness detection in the Fraud Detection Agent AI.
- Validates the national ID document against issuer records and cross-checks name and date of birth against bureau and submitted documents.
- Cross-checks name and date of birth across national ID, payslips, bank statements, and employer records. Minor variations are flagged for review; material mismatches fail verification.
- Does not store unnecessary biometric data beyond what GDPR permits for the verification transaction. Only verification outcomes are retained in the KYC record.
Prior KYC Record Match
Every applicant — existing KYC / AML check before fresh collectionInvoked when: SSN or customer identifier is available — prior CIP record check runs before requesting fresh KYC / AML documents
- Queries prior CIP and bureau records using the applicant's SSN and identifiers to check whether a prior KYC record already exists from a prior interaction with another financial institution. If a prior KYC record exists, it retrieves the KYC / AML status (KYC / AML-compliant / KYC / AML-non-compliant), the KYC / AML date, and the institution that performed the original KYC / AML — reducing the need to collect and verify documents that have already been verified by another RE.
- Compares the key demographic fields in the prior KYC record (name, date of birth, address) against the applicant's current submission to detect material discrepancies — an address change since the original prior CIP record, a name change, or a date-of-birth mismatch. Minor discrepancies are flagged for the KYC / AML officer to assess; material discrepancies require fresh verification regardless of prior verification status.
- Determines whether the existing prior KYC record satisfies LendingIQ's KYC / AML requirements for the applicable customer category and product — because different products may require different KYC / AML levels (simplified / normal / enhanced) and an existing prior KYC record at a lower level does not satisfy a higher-level requirement.
- If no prior KYC record exists, the agent proceeds to fresh document collection and triggers the full verification suite. At the end of a successful fresh KYC / AML, it produces the CIP record update payload for the human KYC / AML officer to submit to the prior KYC registry — the submission itself is a human-authorised act.
Video KYC / AML Outcome Integration
For applicants completing VKYC pathwayInvoked when: Video KYC / AML Moderator AI has completed a VKYC session and the outcome needs to be integrated into the overall KYC / AML verification report
- Reads the structured output from the Video KYC / AML Moderator AI — session pass/refer verdict, compliance checklist outcome, face match result, liveness check outcome, and any moderator notes — and integrates it with the national ID / eIDAS verification results and prior KYC match results to produce a complete KYC / AML file status.
- Checks that the VKYC session outcome satisfies the ECB / EBA V-CIP (Video based Customer Identification Process) requirements for the applicable customer category: that the OVD presented during the session matches the OVD on file, that the customer's face was visible throughout, that the session was conducted in a single sitting without interruption, and that the date and time watermark from the VKYC system confirms the session was live.
- Identifies any remaining KYC / AML gaps that the VKYC session did not address — for example, a VKYC session that verified identity but did not collect the address proof separately required for the applicable KYC / AML category. Flags these as open items before the KYC / AML file can be considered complete.
