The importance of KYC especially in banks is that if a particular customer or entity is in the red list or the black list being monitored, they can help spot and track transactions made by these entities. This means that proper identification of customers lead to better compliance and better monitoring. Further, KYC norms help banks and customers alike as the transactions carried out between the bank and the customers provide details of both so that any legal dispute arising out of such transactions can be resolved through documentation and data which would pinpoint the source of the dispute and help the arbitrators decide on who is guilty.

you can not successfully run your business without knowing your customer.  How you will sell products without information about customer needs or preferences? You have to know everything about your target audience in order to understand what product to sell to them. Customer is everything for business. Without clients business would not exist.
