  • It was easy to get support in real-time if any questions arised
  • There were relevant status updates during the process
  • Provision of a handy welcome pack to get me started

The complete customer experience was seamless and very positive. The overall process took less than twenty minutes, including account opening and loan contracting, with the electronic signature of two co-contractors, one being in London and the other one in Lisbon. The seventy thousand euros were available to the car seller and the customer left the stand with a new Tesla Model 3." (financial provider)

Some of the key benefits for the financial provider

By significantly reducing the onboarding time, the financial provider can now onboard clients up to 80% faster than with a manual process and improve time to revenue by up to 45%. It also reduced the cost of onboarding by 90% and increases the onboarding capacity to four times (clients) with the same back office team. It also reduced the TCO for compliance and KYC reviews by up to 50%.
With an improved engine for scoring and risk analysis, the loan acceptance increased up to 20%, the origination workload decreased by 30%, it brought a verified 45% improvement in profitability, and a 15% reduction in bad debt.
Customers are ready to change the financial provider, looking for simpler and online (mobile) solutions that may be used at any time, everywhere, providing an improved customer experience with financial products “on-demand.” The fast success that Revolut or N26 are facing (1,500 new clients /day) shows that customers are ready and willing to change digital providers and embrace FinTech’s innovative approach for financial services, loans, or insurance without fear.
The redesign of existing onboarding processes is a complex task that involves many different skills, processes, providers, and systems. Customer expectations are higher than ever and demand innovative approaches to reflect an amazing Customer Experience (UX/UI) and a huge simplification of the bureaucratic business processes. Simplicity by design makes everything much easier and reduces unneeded complexity to the overall solution. Adopting innovative technology is the right option and, for sure, more fun!
