How DSS Leverages AI and OCR to Streamline KYC Compliance in Banking
Manual KYC (Know Your Customer) checks in banks are time-consuming and resource-draining. DSS Bulgaria revolutionizes this process with AI-powered Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology that automates identity verification, cuts operational costs, and speeds up compliance. Leading banks such as United Bulgarian Bank and UniCredit Bulbank are already using it.
