By integrating Video-Based Customer Identification Process (VCIP) technology into its web-based channels, the public sector bank Indian Bank has officially unveiled the Video KYC facility, which relies on accomplishing the Know Your Customer (KYC) process via video mode, allowing an individual to open a savings account from anywhere.
