The boom in the Fintech industry has shaped and transformed the ways businesses operate today. Amidst the pandemic of COVID-19, many businesses have suffered great losses from divesting assets in order to survive or rolling on complete bankruptcy. However, the Fintech industry has been steadily growing, adapting to societal and economic changes keeping technology at the heart of its response. In 2020, the global Fintech market value was USD$703.78 billion and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 26.87% during the forecasted period of 2026.

With rapid changes in technology and innovation advancements, the market has grown to be even more competitive. Traditional institutions, such as the financial and banking sectors are looking to make significant reforms in their day-to-day business operations to enhance their customers’ digital journey. As such, it has now become essential for many financial institutions to lay their focus down on providing a seamless digital customer onboarding experience.

What is customer onboarding?

Customer onboarding is generally the process a bank or financial institution undertakes when introducing their financial products to new customers or introducing new financial products to existing customers. This involves a number of key activities in the process such as evaluating customers’ requests, gathering vital customer information, and conducting identity checks to comply with know-your-customer (KYC) legal regulations. 

The customer onboarding process is probably the most crucial stage in the customer lifecycle as it’s where the business revenue is driven from and sets the tone of the relationship with new or existing customers in terms of the value your product offers them. It also impacts how customers view and set their first impressions on dealing with banks and financial institutions. The process heavily relies on simplifying the user journey rather than walking them through exerted manual processes that include many forms of applications, manual compliance checks, and in-person identification checks. An ideal onboarding journey would not take customers 10 steps to apply for a product or a service but rather simplify them to 5 steps or less. This would significantly downsize the time it would take to onboard new customers let alone, maximise operational efficiencies across the business’s day-to-day operations.

Why Juris Access is the preferred digital customer onboarding solution?

The challenges in traditional financial institutions today revolve around digitising many of their processes. The existing landscape still does its marketing, origination, submission of documents, verification, approval, and acceptance at physical branches or visits from sales agents.

Some financial institutions that have digital channels, like an online document submission page, use the page to collect minimal information, whilst still relying on existing brick and mortar processes to complete the application journey. Most digital journeys are customised with no inherent capability to adapt to the ever-changing market and customer needs. This creates an extremely high cost in operations as the financial institutions are still emulating inefficient and traditional methods in their digital journeys, yielding measly results.
