Small Business Onboarding

Objective & Scope

Discovery

Design Recommendations

Launch the Business Savings Account onboarding experience as an MVP and identify differentiating features that should be considered between that and the Small Business Checking onboarding experience:

  • Create an Intuitive interface that guides the user through the necessary steps to open a BSA, minimizing complexity and time

  • Ensure that all necessary KYC identification and documentation requirements are clearly communicated and easy to upload

  • Identify navigational best practices for digital business accounts applications

  • Design the future journey for digital onboarding by fusing existing branch experience, KYC requirements, and competitor trends

Applications for both big bank competitors and smaller digital banks consist of four phases:

  • 1. Pre-application info  2. Personal questions  3. Business questions  4. Review and submit

  • Distinguishing features among competitors include:

    • Digital assistance

    • User ID and verification

    • Limited number of fields

    • Account activation elements

Improve upon those features provided by our competitors while leveraging best practices:

  • Experience design should include distinguishing features from those of our competitors

  • Perform comprehensive assessment of language tone and design style of competitors while adding elements of personalization where possible

  • Ensure that auto-fill is incorporated at all possible touch points for existing customers while streamlining experience for new customers

  • Cut down on KYC requirements by doubling up and pushing to post-approval where possible

  • Total number of entry fields should not exceed 80

Comprehensive research of competitive intelligence provided for insights into best practices and trending technologies

The account opening experience should be short and tailored to the needs of both new and existing customers
