BANKING MANAGEMENT DEBATE
Client onboarding is a full process, which users employ when they start their journey as a customer/client of a bank/financial institution. The onboarding experience can define the ongoing relationship the customer has with the organization.
In other words, this process is critical due to key variables such as client loyalty, experience, referrals, and profitability. The future of client onboarding depends on the quality of the involved company’s own onboarding practice and processes.
