PYMNTS report: The FI's guide to improving digital onboarding

Understanding how consumers want to access banking services

How consumers interact with financial institutions (FIs) is undergoing a radical change. As FIs invest in digital and contactless onboarding experiences, they're looking to implement new and more sophisticated digital identity verification methods for contactless applications, such as biometric comparison or liveness detection. 

But FIs may be overlooking a key insight: nearly three-quarters of consumers do not feel comfortable sharing sensitive personal information like biometrics when opening new accounts through a digital channel.

What can a Financial Institution do? The FI's guide to improving digital onboarding, a collaboration between the digital identity experts at Mitek Systems Inc. and PYMNTS, highlights key findings from a survey of 2,000+ U.S. consumers who have recently opened accounts. Here's what you'll learn:

  1. How consumers opened accounts in the last 6 months and new habits they're forming that's ultimately reshaping the industry
  2. Breakdown of account onboarding practices and preferences between age demographics 
  3. Data-backed solutions to inform FIs how to create a better onboarding experience
  4. Insights to decrease abandonment rates and onboard more good customers
