Faster Digital Onboarding with Automation

In today’s financial services landscape, onboarding is no longer just an administrative step — it is the first and most critical impression a customer has of their bank or credit union. A recent report from West Monroe highlights that institutions with seamless digital account opening not only stabilize customer flows during periods of disruption but also accelerate deposit growth and foster long-term loyalty. In an increasingly competitive market, speed and simplicity in onboarding have become clear differentiators.

Yet many institutions still rely on paper-heavy processes or outdated workflows that frustrate customers, slow down staff, and introduce compliance risks. As consumers expect digital-first experiences in every aspect of their lives, the need for smarter, automated onboarding has become urgent.

How FinTech Automation Transforms Onboarding

At FinTech Automation (FTA), our approach to onboarding efficiency blends automation with flexibility, ensuring that institutions can meet customer expectations while maintaining compliance and operational control.

• Flow Builder: A no-code workflow design tool that allows financial institutions to configure and adjust onboarding processes quickly. With Flow Builder, institutions can adapt workflows in real time, responding to regulatory changes or customer needs without waiting for lengthy development cycles.
• EZForm Digital Account Opening: A fully automated onboarding solution that streamlines every step of the process. Key features include:
  • Data prefill from existing systems to eliminate redundant entry.
  • Smart field display to show only what’s relevant, reducing friction.
  • Secure document attachment and e-signature for faster verification.
  • Facial liveness detection to strengthen identity verification and support compliance requirements.

Together, Flow Builder and EZForm replace cumbersome manual steps with a seamless digital experience that is faster, more accurate, and far more user-friendly for both staff and customers.

The Results: Speed, Compliance, and Growth

By integrating automation into onboarding, banks and credit unions can:

• Open accounts faster, reducing abandonment rates caused by long wait times.
• Simplify compliance, with automated KYC checks and secure digital verification built into the workflow.
• Free up staff time, enabling teams to focus on customer relationships and strategic growth instead of manual data entry.
• Improve customer satisfaction, creating a first interaction that builds trust and loyalty from the start.

In a marketplace where customers can switch providers with a few clicks, a frictionless onboarding process isn’t just nice to have — it’s essential to growth.

Building the Future of Digital Banking

The institutions that will thrive are those that treat onboarding as a strategic priority rather than a back-office function. With Flow Builder and EZForm, FTA empowers banks and credit unions to create onboarding journeys that are fast, compliant, and customer-centric.

The result is more than operational efficiency — it’s the foundation for long-term competitiveness in digital banking.

Faster onboarding means stronger growth, deeper trust, and a future-ready institution.
