Based on what I have seen in the industry, I think that one can identify four categories of regulatory conformance in the provision mobile banking based on a new bank account. The four are:
- Full banking, where the underlying account that is created for a new subscriber conform to all the banking law requirements. The customer is properly identified and conforms to KYC prescriptions. The bank account is properly reflected on the deposit-taking balance sheet of a bank and all legal requirements have been met.
- Relaxed conformance, which is typically the same as a full bank account with some relaxation of the KYC requirements (both in content and in process), although the customer is still properly identified.
- Pre-paid debit, where the client is not identified. KYC requirements are postponed to a later stage where the client would be identified (for instance) where cash is to be withdrawn from the account, or when the balance is to exceed a specific limit.
- No conformance
