Is KYC in demand?
KYC jobs continue to be in high demand as organisations look to manage the risks associated with identity fraud and money laundering. Identity fraud alone is estimated to cost UK businesses £1.8bn a year and is one of the most common types of fraud reported to Cifas. As AI technology like “deepfake” video becomes more common, businesses are facing increasingly complex challenges when verifying identity.Can KYC be done by AI?
KYC technology platforms have seen significant improvement in recent years, and developments in AI also promise to improve real-time customer identity checks. That being said, demand for KYC jobs will remain, as human oversight is required to run and optimise automated systems, minimise false positives and handle nuanced cases that require human judgement.Is KYC a stressful role?
Like many roles in the compliance and onboarding space, KYC roles do require individuals to juggle tight time pressures with a sophisticated understanding of relevant regulations and guidelines, while businesses as a whole look to control their costs. In the short term, many compliance and KYC teams report being asked to do more with less.KYC Job Trends
According to our research a number of key trends are shaping demand for KYC jobs:- The broader recruitment market for compliance and financial crime jobs, including KYC, has been holding steady.
- Financial crime and KYC is a cyclical job market, with companies typically seeing a peak in hiring following a regulatory intervention or fine. As new hires address the underlying issues, we then see businesses reduce investment, until the next incident.
- Regulation in this space has evolved rapidly in both the UK and EU, and the scope of AML/KYC requirements is expanding, such as through the 2025 introduction of rules for landlords and letting agents and the introduction of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (ECCTA).
