Advocate with central banks and other regulators to help people open accounts
Access to Identification document (ID) is key to financial inclusion, security, and social participation.
This tool is designed to help you advocate for people’s right to open a bank account – even without formal ID. It helps explain to government stakeholders why IDs matter, outlines barriers created by strict Know-Your-Customer (KYC) rules and offers practical strategies like tiered KYC and functional IDs to help disadvantaged groups access financial services safely and efficiently.
