Collect and validate the information needed to access a financial product.  The prospect shares in one click, for validation in record time.

THE QuickSign VISION
ON eKYC :

eKYC (acronyme of electronic Know Your Customer) retrieves valid customer information in order to grant access to a financial product. These data can be collected via the user (document upload, IBAN, salary) or via trusted third parties (connection via FranceConnect or Spid for example). It varies based on the financial product, the financial service and the country.  

QuickSign’s position is to ensure that no matter the context, any customer can easily provide the necessary information. For documents, that means triggering advanced technologies such as AI and optical character recognition (OCR) in combination with market specific business rules. For online data, that means  enabling instant and secured access to online platforms (such as telecoms). 

On the financial service side, we ensure that beyond accessing information, we accelerate the decision making process for the internal teams. For this, we provide access to our ONE TEAM – Middle Office tool which automates or speeds up the time it takes to accept a customer’s application.  

By leveraging cutting-edge technology and an expert data, we eliminate human error, speed up verification and significantly augment conversion rates. This approach aims to create a seamless user experience while deeply reinforcing the efficiency of Middle Office teams.

The QuickSign  eKYC  Marketplace

A service dedicated to efficient customer information validation. 

Doc Reco

Automatic document verification (OCR) and business rules

An OCR without business rules is like a bird without wings. In the case of financial services: there can be no conversion rate take off without expert business rules in place. QuickSign coordinates the leading OCRs with market specific algorthims to enable instant decisions.

Data hub

Direct API access to online platforms

As the digital age advances, an increasing number of customers have access to their files online: with electricity, gas, water, telecom providers. At QuickSign, we have streamlined access to these platforms to ensure 100% correct information directly from the source.

Sorting Machine

Drastically reduce human errors in stores, dealerships and/or agencies

In certain context, financial services are operating with agents in stores, dealerships or agencies. These agents are dedicated to signing contracts, not necessarily applying attention to detail in file completion. QuickSign's Sorting Machine automates the file creation process by cropping scanned PDF, finding the information and sorting it. Fast.

Middle Office

Significantly accelerate validation in the Middle Office

When an automatic instant decision cannot be taken, the hyper-efficient Middle Office tools steps in. Designed with and for Middle Office agents, this tool enables agents to focus on anything the machine was not able to find or decide. Agents become hyper-focused, drastically reducing their time to validation.

FAQ

It’s is always a challenge to harmonize terms. At QuickSign, we have used the following logic:

  • eID is related to identity verification on the basis of a valid ID document. eID for financial services is highly regulated and we rely on our certifications and regular audits. 
  • eKYC on the other hand is linked to any additional information that is provided by a customer. That may be: IBAN, salary slip, proof of address… The authenticity of the document is of high importance however it is the financial services’ internal compliance that dictates business rules to apply (rather than external European Regulations or Directives).

Some financial services include both identity and information under the same generic “KYC” term.  We have chosen to seperate them in order to clarify our offer. At QuickSign, it’s easy to combine services. Feel free to reach out to see which workflow would make the most sense for your business case.

The short answer is yes. And if you don’t have OCRs – we have you covered. 

Our experience in production is that OCRs are a small part of handling customer information efficiently. Their role is necessary to retrieve information automatically however, if used alone or without the proper business rules, they bring no added value to a workflow. 

At QuickSign, we define added value by 1/ increased conversion rates and 2/ decreased time spent by agents to validate incoming onboarding files. 

QuickSign secret sauce: we use the highest standard OCRs available on the market and combine them with financial service specific business rules, data hubs and our Middle Office. Contact us for more information on how eKYC will add value to your existing workflows production.

Of course. At QuickSign, we know that ROI is key for financial services looking to automate or accelerate their digital processes. Business analysts and decision makers need to have facts in order to prove performance in production and return on investment.
