The goods

KYC pack

A set of identity documents assembled to pass a verification check: ID scans, a selfie holding the document, a utility bill, sometimes a short video. Sold to open accounts in someone else's name.

Why it matters to you

Document-based verification assumes the document is in its owner's hands. Where a KYC pack exists, the check has to rest on liveness and device signals rather than on the scan.

Where we meet it

These are sold by country, because the paperwork differs by country. A rise in packs for one jurisdiction is a signal aimed squarely at the institutions that verify there.
