The challenge

Typically the onboarding process for SME accounts is complex, semi-automated, and siloed, with multiple challenges associated with it: 

  • Lead time to open an SME or corporate account typically can take up to 100 days
  • Complex process due to non-standardised and repetitive data collection and processing 
  • Lack of transparency during the application process and inadequate communication, causing potential customers to drop off
  • Longer onboarding processes result in a loss of cross-sell and up-sell opportunities during the initial customer engagement period
  • High operational cost due to more focus on know your customer (KYC) and know your business (KYB) adherence

The solution

The Virtusa-powered SME Customer Onboarding platform enables banks to accelerate the SME customer onboarding journey. The platform verifies the business and company representative credentials and enables financial institutions to onboard customers conveniently and digitally. 


This solution includes powerful and proven features to help banks make faster decisions while onboarding a customer, ensuring that required compliance and due diligence are enforced during the entire application process.
