The Challenge
Axis Bank faced significant challenges with its manual KYC processes, which needed to be faster, more efficient, and prone to errors. The verification of critical documents such as Aadhar, PAN Card, and Voter ID was time-consuming and required extensive manual effort.
- Slow Verification
The manual process resulted in delays, frustrating customers who expected quicker service.
- High Error Rate
Errors in document verification were common, leading to potential data discrepancies and customer dissatisfaction.
- Cross-Verification Complexity
The need to cross-verify information across multiple document categories added to the complexity and created inconsistencies.
- Operational Bottlenecks
These issues led to operational inefficiencies, limiting the bank’s ability to scale and deliver a smooth, timely KYC process to its growing customer base.
