Bank Re-KYC update: How to update your bank KYC online

Many banks have online facilities for customers to update their KYC

Re-KYC is a process with which, banks and financial institutions can remain updated with a customer's latest personal details and contact information, ensuring that the information a client provides at the time of account opening or opting for a service is not outdated, according to the HDFC Bank website, as reported by the Economic Times.

Financial institutions are mandated to adopt KYC so that they are not misused for illicit activities such as money laundering and terror financing.
