As a credit institution, Multitude Bank has a critical requirement of establishing streamlined and fully compliant onboarding processes across various markets.

ChallengeBefore partnering with Signicat, Multitude Bank faced the complex task of implementing streamlined and fully compliant onboarding processes across multiple markets. Complying with Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements was both a legal obligation and a crucial step in preventing financial crimes such as identity theft, money laundering, fraud, and terrorism financing. The bank recognised the need for a reliable and technologically advanced partner capable of providing customer-friendly digital identity solutions to enhance their onboarding processes. SolutionSignicat emerged as the trustworthy partner for Multitude Bank, offering a comprehensive suite of digital identity solutions tailored to their needs. For services like Ferratum, SweepBank, Multitude Bank implemented Signicat's authentication solution, supporting a wide range of electronic identities (eIDs) such as Smart-ID, MitID, Swedish Bank ID, and more. Customers can now easily register, log in and access their accounts or services using their preferred eID tool. This has led to a seamless and secure onboarding experience that complies with regulations and offers added convenience for customers. Additionally, Multitude Bank embraced Signicat's signing solutions, facilitating swift contract signings and reducing reliance on physical paperwork. This not only accelerated business operations but also contributed to a more environmentally-friendly approach by minimising paper usage. Moreover, the implementation of Signicat's address verification feature optimised Multitude Bank's deposit operations in Sweden, ensuring accuracy and efficiency. The partnership simplified their onboarding processes, leading to significant time and resource savings. In turn, Multitude Bank now provides its customers with a seamless and secure digital journey across all markets where Signicat's solutions are present. ResultThe collaboration between Multitude Bank and Signicat has transformed the way the bank establishes customer trust and ensures compliance. By leveraging Signicat's solutions, Multitude Bank achieved full automation in customer onboarding across all markets where they have implemented Signicat's services. As a result, Multitude Bank has positioned itself as an industry leader in delivering secure, user-friendly, and fully automated onboarding experiences across multiple markets. ----- © Multitude Bank p.l.c., ST Business Centre 120, The Strand, Gzira, GZR 1027 Malta.
