### Ensuring Seamless Messaging: UK KYC Compliance for Small Business Owners
As the UK KYC compliance deadline approaches on 31st December, it’s crucial for small to medium-sized business owners and service providers to ensure their UK-based phone numbers are registered correctly. This update is particularly relevant for users of CRM platforms like HighLevel, Kajabi, HubSpot, and ClickFunnels, who rely on uninterrupted messaging services to maintain smooth operations.
#### Understanding the New Feature
To support this process, a new feature will assist customers by displaying a banner on the Phone Numbers page. This can be found under Sub-Account View > Settings > Phone Numbers > Manage Numbers. The banner will alert users with sub-accounts that have at least one unverified UK phone number about the pending UK KYC registration.
#### Who Will Benefit?
If you operate sub-accounts in LC Phone and have an unverified UK phone number, you will see the banner. It serves as a timely reminder to ensure your compliance with the upcoming deadline. The banner will disappear once registration is completed or after 31st December 2024, whichever is earlier.
#### The Importance of This Update
The introduction of this feature aims to increase awareness among businesses about the UK KYC registration requirements. This is crucial to ensure that all sub-accounts meet the regulatory compliance standards, thereby avoiding any disruptions in service.
#### Steps to Take
Should you see the banner, it’s a signal to act. Follow the instructions provided or check the support articles available to complete your UK KYC registration. This involves linking your UK phone numbers to an approved regulatory bundle by the end of the year.
