· First bank in India to introduce a mobile app based process for opening current accounts in a few hours  

 
· Uses APIs for real-time validation of KYC documents of customers and their businesses



IndusInd Bank announced the launch of a first-of-its-kind assisted mobile application based facility, that enables the Bank to open current accounts for self-employed individuals and businesses digitally, in just a few hours.


Equipped with the Bank’s state-of-the-art ‘Indus Corporate’ mobile app, bank officials can now capture and verify information about customers and their businesses in real-time, at the premise of the customer in a convenient and secure manner. With this, customers can now experience a faster and seamless account opening journey with the bank, without the hassle of arranging physical KYC documents of themselves or their firm.


The app uses multiple ‘Application Programme Interface’ (APIs) which enables secured validation of KYC documents from authorised government platforms such as the Goods and Service Tax (GST), Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL), Import Export Code (IEC) and Aadhaar. The facility can be used to open current accounts for all kinds of businesses including proprietorship, partnership as well as private & public limited companies, among others.


· Faster and seamless account opening: With the help of a digital journey, current accounts can now be opened within a few hours, which helps customers to initiate their business transactions faster.
 
· Choice Account Number: Customers are given the privilege of choosing an account number of their choice which they can easily remember
 
· Paperless KYC documentation: Customers need not go through the hassle of submitting physical KYC documents which also helps in reducing the usage of paper
 
· Accuracy of data: Details of the digitally validated documents of the said entity and the authorised signatories will be fetched directly from govt. databases using APIs
 

While the account number is provided to the customer at the time of the account opening procedure itself, the account is made operational within 24 hrs.


The launch of the mobile application based facility for opening current accounts comes close on the heels of our recent announcement on the expansion of our video banking services, with the integration of a ‘Video KYC’ platform for on boarding savings account and credit card customers.
