Under the facility, verification of KYC documents and recording of the customer’s signature are completed through a video call with the bank, and there will be no need to visit the branch or meet a representative for biometric verification or sharing of physical documents.
After the video KYC is completed, the customer will get a full-fledged bank account with no restrictions on deposits or account balances.
