Why it is important

Opening new accounts is often a trade-off for financial organizations: Increasing customer base leads to growing account-opening backlogs, but speeding up the process results in lower quality of customer service.

What needs to be improved

The manual nature of work involved in account opening creates challenges:

  • The process includes multiple touchpoints where the customer needs to submit and re-submit information
  • Thousands of documents require manual review from a highly specialized workforce
  • Multiple internal systems need to be updated manually

More manual work leads to more errors, which, in turn, require even more manual work, while the core issues, such as the speed of account opening and the quality of customer service, are not addressed. This conventional approach also forces skilled employees to spend their time on tedious low-value work, which can lead to attrition.

How WorkFusion can help

WorkFusion Intelligent Automation solutions help financial institutions to speed up handling without any loss of performance for operations with documents and banking applications, following a proven workflow:

  • Bots retrieve and validate required account information from various CRM systems, enterprise content management applications, and other systems
  • Intelligent machine learning bots process structured and unstructured documents with unmatched data accuracy
  • The human-in-the-loop capability allows staff members to review and verify the data processed by the bots and tag information if required
  • Bots then update the bank’s internal systems

The solutions achieve 95% accuracy and automation rate, with 10% of accounts achieving straight-through processing.

The result is a transition from manual to digital operations, which allows financial organizations to:

  • onboard new accounts rapidly and accurately
