How Banks Can Acquire Customers Within 3 – Minutes Amid Covid Lockdowns

With challenges comes change and banks have stood witness to a massive behavioural change over the past few weeks of global turmoil. As the internet took centre seat in every household across India, even the most reluctant of customers was forced to navigate their way through internet banking. This accompanied by the re-activation of dormant customers, all looking to make non-cash related payments through IMPS/NEFT/UPI etc., purchase goods or services or transfer funds, saw internet banking KPIs sail well past their yearly targets.

Opportunity for Banks

With the current market scenario spooking even the most seasoned investor, we are likely to follow a trend of withdrawals from the equity market and deposits into safer term deposits for the foreseeable future. With saving bank interest rates also falling, even the slightest variation in a bank’s offering can lend them a competitive edge in acquiring new customers. Even though bank liquidity would seem higher for the present quarter, eventually when the manufacturing and consumer goods markets come into action, bank’s assets would be re-directed into these segments. This gives banks a huge opportunity to expand their existing customer base and onboard new customers at the present time.

But how can banks seize this opportunity and reach out and onboard new customers in a time where our world has shifted from outdoors to online?

The Silver Lining

In its circular dated 9th January 2020, Reserve Bank of India enabled the onboarding of customers remotely through digital channels, using a Video-based Customer identification Process (V-CIP). A savvy bank can now stitch together a customer’s experience that seamlessly conducts the following.

  1. Video-based Know Your Customer (V-KYC) for customer onboarding
  2. Open savings and fixed deposit accounts
  3. Transfer money into these accounts

These legs of the user’s journey with a new bank, which earlier took hours, possibly days and multiple trips to the bank, can now be completed within 3 minutes. Yes, this is possible with the best Video KYC tools that you can avail from the premium Video KYC solution providers.

How to Keep Moving in a Socially Distanced World

With an ever-changing world bringing to us an ever-mounting set of challenges, it often feels hard to keep up and keep evolving at the same pace. However, when we dig deeper, we realize that our development never really slowed down; it just required a pinch of innovation added to help us adapt to a new world order.

Challenging times (à la Covid-19) often serve as this much-needed impetus to get our innovative juices flowing. Over the last couple of weeks, we have noticed that the pandemic (as declared by the World Health Organization) we are facing as a civilization has in fact, opened a plethora of alternatives, especially for businesses.

The role of technology as a bridge between client and customer often goes unnoticed in our daily lives. But when daily life comes to a standstill, technology finally comes into its own. The Government of India is urging people to move towards digital banking services, despite India being a heavily cash-based society.
