Moody’s appreciated a new startup from the Emirates that uses blockchain to implement KYC
Moody’s reported that the new Know Your Customer (KYC) platform, based on a blockchain in the United Arab Emirates, is positive for the state’s lenders. According to a report by The National media network on February 26, the credit rating agency said the platform would improve asset quality and increase profits.
A consortium of six banks, which held almost 45% of total banking assets in the United Arab Emirates, was created this month to share verified customer data using blockchain technology.

“The platform will support regulatory oversight of banks’ collection and management of KYC data. We also expect it to help credit risk management with better data for client underwriting and debt collection.”
