Business & Corporate Banking – New Account Onboarding Automation

Business Banking

Business/Corporate Account Onboarding / KYC / New Account Opening

Mid-to-large banks onboarding thousands monthly via branch, digital, and RM channels.

Challenge

Business account onboarding is significantly more complex than consumer onboarding due to entity structure, regulatory obligations, and multi-party authorization. Financial institutions must verify:

  • Entity existence & legitimacy
    Articles / certificates of incorporation, registry extract / certificate of good standing, trade name / DBA registration
  • Authority & signing rights
    Board / partner / member resolutions, authorized signer lists, signature verification
  • Individuals associated with the business
    Government-issued IDs, beneficial owners meeting regulatory thresholds, control person documentation, proof of address & date of birth
  • Business profile & expected activity
    Nature and purpose, expected volumes & geographies, cash/wire activity, source of funds & wealth
  • Address verification
    Registered office and operating address evidence
  • Tax & reporting compliance
    EIN / business number, FATCA / CRS documentation (e.g., W-9, W-8BEN-E, CRS self-certification)
  • Licenses & registrations
    Industry/sector licensing (e.g., MSB, nonprofit/charity)
  • Ongoing obligations
    Agreement to information updates, periodic KYC refresh, and enhanced due diligence if risk profile changes
Traditional workflows require staff to:
  • Manually review multi-document entity packages
  • Validate legal authority and beneficial ownership thresholds
  • Enter redundant data across CRM, BPM, and core systems
  • Perform repeated QC cycles across branch, compliance, and back office
This results in:
  • Slow onboarding timelines and SLA pressure
  • High operational costs and staffing burden
  • Error and compliance risk due to process variability
  • Friction between business clients and Relationship Managers
  • Data inconsistency between systems (BPM / CRM / core)

Banks need a scalable way to automate, standardize, and govern the business banking onboarding process while maintaining regulatory rigor.
