An integration between two of pbDigital\u2019s software platforms makes it possible for financial institutions to digitally onboard customers in record time. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent integration between SignFlow<\/a> and pbVerify<\/a> has created a platform for digitally onboarding customers that is about to change the way credit is granted \u2013in terms of risk management, compliance and convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although pbVerify has offered digital onboarding<\/a> \u2013 an advanced customer activation product designed for financial institutions \u2013 for some time, never has this tool been as powerful as it is now, with the incorporation of SignFlow digital signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital onboarding was introduced specifically to A) improve the customer experience by making it easier for them to activate and use financial services products, and B) give financial institutions a more secure and scalable means of growing their business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, it makes no sense for institutions and their customers to have to switch back to manual halfway through the digital process of onboarding, to finalise the process with signatures \u2013 the old <\/em>way of doing things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since pbDigital is all about innovation, meet the new<\/em> way of doing things\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, with pbVerify\u2019s integration with SignFlow, you can say goodbye to the expensive and onerous manual methods associated with finalising the process of customer onboarding \u2013 printing of forms, signing by hand, scanning, uploading and emailing \u2013 and say hello to a new fast and fail-safe system that allows institutions to onboard customers entirely online, in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No longer do red tape and geographical circumstances play a part in how long it takes to finalise the onboarding process. With SignFlow, it is simply a case of sending the completed online form to the designated signatory or signatories for approval \u2013 all via a secure, legal online platform. No more physical records, no more running around, no more waiting \u2013 and, most importantly, no more jeopardising of customer data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compliance & security<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In today\u2019s legal milieu, with the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA) of 2001 and the Protection of Personal Information (POPI) Act of 2013 binding businesses to stricter data protection criteria than ever before, there is no margin for mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With pbVerify and SignFlow behind your onboarding process, FICA and POPI compliance concerns are a thing of the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These software platforms \u2013 now integrated into one seamless onboarding solution \u2013 offer financial institutions an efficient and guaranteed means of making sure business processes and IT systems comply with the law when dealing with customer data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is how our new onboarding solution works, in a nutshell:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Front-end: Customer Online App<\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. The customer fills out pbVerify\u2019s intelligent digital onboarding form (complete with auto-population and including Home Affairs\/CIPC verification, as applicable).<\/li>
  2. Details of the designated signatory or signatories (approver\/s) are entered.<\/li>
  3. The signatory\/signatories are notified pbVerify has received a customer activation form, of which they are the listed party\/parties responsible for sign-off.<\/li>
  4. The said party\/parties follow the link provided, and sign the application form online using SignFlow.<\/li>
  5. The application process is complete.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Back-end: Admin\/Credit Control<\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Once the customer has completed the application, admin\/credit control will get notified of a pending application and can log in to the admin portal, in order to run the required credit and compliance checks.<\/li>
    2. The digitally-signed agreement\/contract can be downloaded online for review and compliance validity confirmation.<\/li>
    3. If required, different checks can be generated such as CIPC, Bank Code Updates and Full Credit reports.<\/li>
    4. Once checks are done, the system can notify the relevant department of the application status and pending credit facility.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      NOTE: All internal checks are scoped according to customer-specific scope and requirements. This is all customisable, according to business\u2019 specific needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
