The European Commission is setting up an e-ID/KYC (know your client) expert group to explore the EU potential of remote digital onboarding (finding new customers by digital means). Once the group is launched in spring 2018, it will provide the Commission with expertise on issues relating to electronic identification and remote Know-Your-Customer processes based on the eIDAS regulation. The group will be composed of regulators, supervisors, identity experts, financial institutions and consumer organisations. In total, 21 members of the group will come from existing consultative structures (eIDAS, anti-money laundering and the European Supervisory Authorities joint committee) while the remaining 15 places will be filled through the call for applications.
