    customer. Organizations were obliged to hire multiple employees as one employee
    can verify only one customer at a time. This takes huge resources of the
    businesses, with video KYC the rescues can be reduced greatly.

    and can later be used as proof of verification. This helps both customers and
    businesses, before that they do not have any proof resulting in recurring
    verifications.

    database.
