Identification
Body
FinTechs belonging to this category provide identification services, which are required for most banking services.
Introduction
Attitude of the country towards identification services
Bank and other financial institutions are allowed to obtain support services from third parties. However, support services are very strictly regulated. The following activities of banks cannot be procured from support service organisations:
a. Activities to be performed exclusively by the bank's board of directors and by the units related to the internal systems of the bank,
b. Evaluation of loan requests of customers in terms of creditworthiness, guarantees, loan conditions and types, loan amounts in case of any kind of lending transactions, whether cash or non-cash and any transactions that are considered as loans for the purposes of the Law, and preparation of loan proposals, submission of proposals to the authorised committees or units, and decision-making about loans,
c. Accounting of banking transactions and issuing financial reports,
d. Acceptance of deposits or participation funds, and marketing activities regarding acceptance of deposits or participation funds,
e. Monitoring and evaluating the credit risk by making efforts to monitor the conditions of use and the situation with respect to the bank and legislation and to determine the possible changes in the customer's creditworthiness, from the time of disbursement until the liquidation of the allocated loans, except for collecting intelligence,
f. Safe deposit box, custody, and safekeeping services.
In this regard, as remote identification has become possible, banks can obtain identification services as support services.
