A question that frequently pops up is what’s eKYC? It stands for 'electronic Know Your Customer'
This is all about digitally authenticating your identification before you can set up an eSIM on your device, which usually involves supplying some personal information and a photo of your passport. Some telecommunications companies require this to maintain high levels of network security and prevent fraud.
