    Account openingsoftware FAQ

    Common questions about digital account opening, onboarding workflows, and compliance evidence.

    What’s the difference between account opening and onboarding?

    Account opening is the customer-facing journey to create an account. Onboarding includes the broader set of checks and provisioning steps (KYC/KYB, risk checks, evidence capture, and system-of-record updates).

    What makes account opening “compliant” in practice?

    Compliance is mostly about evidence: what checks ran, what data was used, who approved overrides, and how outcomes were recorded. Platforms should capture this automatically through workflow and audit trails.

    How do you keep conversion high without weakening controls?

    Use progressive capture and step-up verification: start with low-friction checks, then escalate only when risk signals require it. Exceptions should route into clear manual review queues.

    What integrations are typically required?

    • Identity verification (IDV) / KYC providers
    • Sanctions/AML screening (where applicable)
    • Core banking and CRM provisioning
    • Document capture and storage

    What should we ask vendors in demos?

    • Show exception handling and step-up flows, not just happy paths.
    • Show evidence capture and audit exports.
    • Show how workflow and policy changes are governed and tested.

    Where should we start?

    Start with a thin slice: one account type, one channel, end-to-end provisioning with evidence trails. Then expand products and channels.
