Problem Statement

Problem Statement

Design a secure, user-friendly digital portal for corporate clients to complete complex bank account opening procedures entirely online, replacing traditional paper-based processes.

Traditional bank account opening for corporate clients involved extensive paper-based processes with multiple forms, requiring physical visits and manual document handling. The bank needed to digitize this process while maintaining strict regulatory compliance and security standards.

  • Multiple physical visits to bank branches

  • Extensive paperwork (10-14 different forms per client type)

  • Long processing times (weeks of back-and-forth)

  • Error-prone manual processes

  • Poor user experience with complex legal requirements
