About the Client

Rootstack

A financial institution wanted to eliminate friction from its customer acquisition process by enabling fully digital account opening through its mobile application. Rootstack was selected for its expertise in designing secure onboarding experiences integrated with modern banking architectures while ensuring compliance with financial regulations.

Challenge

The bank relied on a partially manual onboarding process that required applicants to visit a branch or complete multiple verification steps before opening an account. This resulted in high abandonment rates, delayed customer activation, and increased operational costs.

 

The institution needed to digitize identity verification, accelerate customer onboarding, eliminate branch visits, and integrate the process with its existing digital ecosystem while maintaining full compliance with Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements.

Our Solutions

Rootstack developed a fully digital onboarding experience integrated into the bank’s mobile application, allowing customers to create accounts securely from their smartphones in just a few minutes. The solution combined biometric authentication, digital identity verification, automated workflows, and a mobile-first user experience to simplify registration while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

 

The onboarding platform was integrated with the bank’s microservices architecture through secure APIs protected by OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC). Automated verification workflows, push notifications, and reusable microservices enabled immediate access to digital banking services after approval while creating a scalable foundation for future financial products and customer journeys.
