Presentation

E-Signatures for Mobile Account Openings & Customer Behaviour Insights

For mobile-first consumers, opening an account without a feature-rich mobile experience may force them to use a different channel (e.g., in-branch, call centre, etc.), revert to traditional paper-based processes, or alternatively find a different financial services provider. In this presentation, we will demonstrate how you can quickly add e-signing capabilities to your web and mobile apps to help enable a secure yet frictionless mobile account opening process. Moreover, we will illustrate how your employees can glean insights into the customer’s mobile journey – measuring the effectiveness of the experience and pinpointing areas of drop-off or confusion, and then using those insights to further optimize the overall customer experience.

What You’ll Learn

  • Add e-signing capabilities to your app in less than 30min. using native mobile e-signature SDKs
  • Build dashboards to track the effectiveness of the customer’s mobile journey (including the signing experience)
  • Create a secure yet frictionless mobile web and mobile app experience by harnessing the power of mobile e-signatures and biometrics

Presentation

Managing Transition to Open Banking and PSD2 Account Aggregation

Go beyond PSD2 XS2A and unleash true Account Aggregation power for a comprehensive financial accounts coverage.

Why does PSD2 offer a limited Account Aggregation scope?

Considering the scope of PSD2 XS2A and its projected implementation timetable along with its specification principles, it is apparent that XS2A only offers access to payment accounts, namely the end-users basic current account and credit card.

With the average consumer and small business customer possessing a broad range of financial services products including current accounts, credit cards, personal loans, leases, insurance, ISAs and various other investment and credit accounts, the scope of PSD2 XS2A initiative might leave some of us feeling underwhelmed when it comes to providing end-users with innovative, convenient and value-added services driven by a truly comprehensive picture of their financial relationships.

What You’ll Learn

  • To build a comprehensive picture you need to manage multiple channels: Direct & In-Direct.
  • Direct Channel (API) aggregates in-scope account data and establishes exception list. In-Direct Channel aggregates only out-of-scope accounts to complete the picture.
  • Even with Opening Banking & PSD2 Direct Channel (APIs), end-user credentials (tokens etc.) need to be secure.
