Our Analysis
Optimising both regulatory and commercial objectives is hard
Lenders’ main objectives are – to lend responsibly and lend profitably.
Delivering both can be done, but is challenging. Success is determined by the customer onboarding journey.
Journeys must balance the need for speed with the need for insight. Journeys that understand a customers’ total commercial value as well as potential vulnerability and regulatory risk.
The primary tension between commercial and regulatory objectives is conversion. Long journeys don’t convert as well as short ones, but short journeys reduce understanding, elevating regulatory risk. Journeys must be only as long as necessary. That’s why ‘one size fits all isn’t good enough any more.
How PrinSIX can help
Onboarding today is inadequate to manage these challenges.
Our SaaS platform equips organisations to create dynamic, personalised, agile onboarding journeys – one applicant at a time.
