(PRESS RELEASE) ANTWERP, MUMBAI – The Antwerp World Diamond Centre and the Gems and Jewellery Export Promotion Council announced that they will join forces in rolling out an industry-wide Know-Your-Customer (KYC) exchange platform, MyKYCBank. 

The MyKYCBank platform, which was launched by the GJEPC through an independent subsidiary, provides a centralized platform for companies in the industry to complete and manage their KYC in line with global standards. Users can easily and quickly share their own KYC data among trade connections as well as banks and other financial intermediaries.

Through the collaboration between the two authorized industry bodies AWDC and GJEPC, the MyKYCBank will encompass the members of the world’s largest diamond trade and manufacturing communities, Antwerp and India.  The platform will become a powerful tool that can significantly reduce compliance costs for users, bring greater transparency in the industry and build confidence of other stakeholders in the industry, such as financial institutions and government.

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success

After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone. Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently. The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
