Avoiding KYC Pitfalls: 3 Steps to Smooth Onboarding for SMBs with EasyKonto

Avoiding KYC Pitfalls: 3 Steps to Smooth Onboarding for SMBs with EasyKonto

At EasyKonto, we’ve spoken to countless SMBs who felt held back by outdated onboarding processes. That’s why we built our solution differently—streamlined, transparent, and tailored to the real-world needs of business owners and entrepreneurs.

Let’s explore the common pitfalls in KYC—and more importantly, how EasyKonto helps you avoid them.

Why KYC Fails: Common Challenges for SMBs

1. Complex and Lengthy Procedures

Traditional KYC workflows often involve layers of manual checks, inconsistent document requests, and long waiting periods. For SMBs that need to move fast—especially when dealing with suppliers or customers overseas—these delays can damage relationships and kill momentum.

2. Inconsistent Regional Rules

Operating across multiple jurisdictions means juggling different regulatory standards. What’s acceptable in the UK might not pass in the UAE or Denmark. These shifting requirements can leave SMBs confused, with missing or mismatched documents that stall the entire process.

3. Slow or Manual Verification

Time is money. When verification involves endless back-and-forth emails or internal reviews, businesses are left waiting—unable to send or receive funds when it matters most.

4. Costly Compliance

Hiring or outsourcing compliance staff isn’t always an option for small teams. High compliance costs disproportionately impact SMBs, adding financial pressure before business has even begun.

5. Lack of Transparency

Most traditional providers offer little visibility into the onboarding process. You upload documents, then wait... with no clue what's next or how long it will take.

6. Account Closure Risk

One small mistake—wrong format, missed update, a document that’s one month too old—can result in your account being rejected or even closed. Many providers offer no second chances.
