KYC should be treated as an ongoing lifecycle, not a one-off check

Original: Why KYC should be modeled as a lifecycle state that can be reevaluated when customer identity, evidence, risk, or policy

A technology writer argues that Know Your Customer checks in banking and fintech should be modeled as a lifecycle state, continually reevaluated whenever customer identity, supporting evidence, risk profile, or compliance policy changes. The argument is that treating verification as a completed event leaves institutions exposed as circumstances shift, and that backend system architecture should reflect verification as a dynamic, ongoing process rather than a one-time gate.

Why now: It offers a concrete architectural perspective on a compliance problem banks and fintech developers currently face.
