What Is Video KYC

Remote Onboarding That Regulators Accept

Video KYC — also called vKYC or Video-based Customer Identification Process (V-CIP) — verifies a customer's identity through a video interaction instead of an in-person branch visit. It pairs the assurance of seeing a live customer with the speed and reach of digital onboarding.

One Constellation supports both assisted vKYC (a trained agent conducts the session) and unassisted, automated video flows. Each session captures the customer's ID, runs document and liveness checks, confirms a face match, and stores a tamper-evident recording with full audit metadata — satisfying regulators who require a video-based identification option.

FAQ

Video KYC FAQ

What is Video KYC (vKYC / V-CIP)?+
Video KYC is a remote identity-verification method that verifies a customer through a live or guided video session — capturing their ID, confirming liveness and a face match, and recording the session for audit — as an alternative to in-person verification.
What is the difference between assisted and unassisted vKYC?+
In assisted vKYC a trained agent conducts the live session; in unassisted vKYC the customer completes an automated video flow. One Constellation supports both.
Is the video session recorded for compliance?+
Yes. Every session is stored as a tamper-evident recording with time-stamp and audit metadata, so it can be produced for regulatory inspection.
How does Video KYC fit with the rest of onboarding?+
Video KYC is one verification path within customer onboarding — it feeds the same risk scoring, screening and case management as any other channel.
