Pain Points

  • No continuous KYC screening / review leading to Regulatory & Compliance breach
  • Difficulty to report and attend Regulatory enquiries
  • No verification mechanism to ensure the validity of Customers Identity
  • Handwritten AOF difficult to decipher & manual data entry prone to errors
  • Weak control to ensure original documents are sighted during onboarding
  • Weak control to ensure the customer is physically presents while filling the AOF
  • Multiple levels of data entry on many systems (duplicate) leading to longer TAT for E2E
  • Discontinuous Operations
  • Lack of communication between Business Stakeholder
  • No proper system record for related parties like Guardians & Power of Attorney holders

Typical Onboarding Pains

  • Weak controls to check the authenticity and validity of the KYC documents on the spot.
  • Ineffective authentication of customer identity.
  • No inherent workflow is available in application for easy tracking of status.
  • More time is being spent on digitization of documents.
  • Manual KYC assessment process may result in breach in terms of Compliance guidelines.
  • Requiring manual actions to resolve identified discrepancies may result in more turnaround time.
  • KYC screening requires manual input on the application and any error will impact the accuracy of the results.
  • No facility in many of the existing systems to capture related parties’ detail (e.g. holder of power of attorney on accounts) which means weak KYC.
  • No standardization for reference data such as occupations and line of business.
  • Offline data residing on paper forms and applications.
  • Discontinuous operations: fragmented processes and steps in the same process and multiple systems involved with different logins to achieve what customers expect in their first-time journey with the bank. An active account, a debit card, a cheque book, informational welcome pack and less waiting time and process time.
  • Inflated cost of operations: inefficiency results by necessity in extra unit cost. Each minute comes with its own cost.
