AWDC launches Know Your Customer Portal application
Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC) announced the launch of the KYCP (Know Your Customer Portal) application, designed to automate the screening of customers and transactions.
New KYCP platform

- The Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC) has unveiled KYCP – a Know Your Customer Portal that automates customer and transaction screening for diamantaires.
- Offered free of charge, the tool is tailored to help dealers comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) rules with far less manual paperwork.
How it changes compliance
- KYCP replaces scattered, spreadsheet-based checks with a single platform that centralizes KYC files, runs faster and more accurate screenings, and triggers real-time alerts on suspicious activity.

- It also streamlines regulatory reporting, easing a burden that has weighed especially heavily on small and family-run trading firms.
Scale and strategic impact
- AWDC invested about EUR 250,000 in developing KYCP and is making it available to the 1,470 Antwerp diamond companies it represents at no cost.

- By introducing the first collective digital compliance solution of its kind in Belgium, Antwerp’s diamond sector positions itself as a frontrunner among non-financial industries on transparency and AML/KYC compliance.
