Excuse me, could you please clarify something for me? I've been reading about Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures in the cryptocurrency and finance industry, and I'm wondering if there's a direct LINK between KYC and bank accounts. Specifically, does undergoing KYC necessarily mean that one's personal information is tied to a specific bank account, or can KYC be done in a way that's more general and not directly tied to any financial institution? I'm trying to understand the implications of KYC on privacy and financial autonomy, and how it might affect users' ability to maintain their financial privacy. Thank you for your help.
