Story 1:
A customer visited an IOB branch to complete his KYC verification. When asked for his utility bills as address proof, he presented a mobile phone bill. The bank official chuckled, explaining that mobile bills cannot be used for KYC purposes. The customer realized that his "utility" bills referred to his electricity and water bills.
Lesson: Double-check the list of acceptable documents for KYC verification to avoid humorous misunderstandings.
Story 2:
A customer called the IOB customer care center, claiming that his KYC form had been lost. The customer service representative asked him if he had signed the form. The customer was perplexed and replied, "Why do I need to sign my lost form?" The representative politely informed him that he needed to sign the KYC form before losing it, as signatures authorize the verification process.
Lesson: Remember to sign your KYC form to complete the verification process effectively.
Story 3:
During a Video KYC verification call, the bank agent asked the customer to hold up his Aadhaar card near his face. The customer misunderstood the instruction and proceeded to wave the Aadhaar card like a flag. The agent laughed and instructed him to simply hold the card next to his face for identity verification.
Lesson: Follow the instructions during KYC verification cautiously to avoid amusing misunderstandings.
