Myth: Mobile

No. Mobile and social
need to enhance
human interaction,
and not replace it for
cost saving purposes.

A true omni-channel experience requires that
you seamlessly integrate the experience
across various channels - social, mobile, web,
or even at the branch. All the interactions,
starting from lead response, until the time
when the funds are deposited, the account
opening process has to act as a single unified
experience across channels.

Expecting prospects to fill out page long
forms leads to bad customer experience.
While social integration is one way to enable
fast form filling, the customer identification
program also requires that the information is
verified against a state-issued identification
collateral. An image capture of a driving
license for example, with an OCR enabled
auto field capture helps reduce the friction in
account opening process. However, this
needs to be supported by the right

One of the mistakes banks make when they
design their online account opening process
is that they take the same manual and branch
based process to the web and digital
channels. This results into heavy form based
approach to which the other digital amenities
are appended. If you look at what makes most

sign-up process is given the due importance
that it deserves.

Online Account Opening is not a single
transaction. Even though it needs to be
completed within few minutes for an ideal
customer experience, it is still a process with
lot of straight-through processing
opportunities. And, it should be treated as
one.

Customers and prospects like being
remembered. And, they hate being forgotten.
If they already hold an account with your
organization in any of the businesses, it helps
to pre-fill the information, and to help them
along with the right decision based on the
context.

A great customer experience is intangible. Yet,
there are ways to measure what matters to the
customers. Time and again, banks measure
the overall cycle time, the effort, and try to
gather feedback. While useful, these are not
the right indicators. Banks need process
monitoring mechanism backed by strong
workflow, and also ways to measure -

A true digital experience is when an existing
customer is offered the most relevant needs in
form of cross-sell, without interrupting them,
and then to follow through the account
opening process without making it seem like
it’s a different process from what they are
used to.
