Prevent Identity Theft by Implementing Digital KYC

Identity theft happens when someone steals your personal information like Aadhar card number, PAN details, or credit card information to make an online purchase, access your financial accounts, create a new bank account, or commit any other type of fraud.

Identity thefts are far more common than you think. According to Norton Cyber Security Insights 2021, nearly 2.7 crore Indians were affected by identity threats in 2020 – that is, 45% of adult Indian internet users. With such high levels of risk, financial institutions need to re-evaluate their current KYC processes to reduce instances of fraud while engaging with new customers. As instances of fraud will see an upward trend, it is time for financial institutions to opt for secure Digital KYC processes in place of legacy practices.

Before we understand how to reduce risk, let us know how one becomes vulnerable to identity theft.

  • Unsecure and public browsing: For the most part, accessing the internet is safe. But, unsecured websites and public Wi-fi increase the risk of data, landing into hackers’ hands.
  • Data breach: A data breach is a security incident where sensitive information is accessed without authorisation. This year, personally identifiable information of 5,00,000 Indian police personnel was hacked into and put up for sale online, which was traced to a police exam conducted in December 2019.
  • Malware activity: Malwares are malicious programs that perform several functions like stealing, altering code, hijacking, deleting sensitive data, and encrypting.
  • Phishing: In this type of attack, a fraudulent communication appears to come from a reputable source, which, when clicked on, lands data in identity thieves’ hands.
  • Physical theft: Sometimes, losing a credit card or mobile phones makes data available at ease, to thieves.
  • Card skimming: In credit card skimming, thieves use a small device to steal payment card (credit card, debit card or ATM card) information. When the card is swiped through this device, it captures all the data from the card’s magnetic strip.

Digital KYC to Address Identity Theft

KYC (‘Know Your Customer’ or ‘Know Your Client’) is a process by which institutions verify the identities of their customers to gauge their identity and credibility. Banks, insurance companies and financial institutions heavily rely on KYC before opening a new account.

Identity verification with KYC mainly addresses identity theft. Despite RBI guidelines for KYC, forged documents and financial fraud continue to be a problem. Recently, in Delhi, a group of fraudsters cheated several popular banks and utilised 22 PAN cards, 9 Aadhar cards, and 21 voter ID cards for their operation.

The current KYC processes are heavily dependent on outsourced vendors and are susceptible to both customer and employee fraud. Kwik.ID provides both Digital and Video based KYC identification to address the issues that KYC processes currently face. Our Video KYC process is used for customer identification as mandated by RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, and PFRDA. The process uses end-to-end encryption for maximum data security and prevents your risk of breach or theft with an on-premises setup.

We verify all officially valid documents (OVD) like PAN, Aadhar, Driver’s License, and Voter ID card from the Central Government Database using our Digital KYC offering. Using Optical Character Recognition, our software recognises characters in ID documents within seconds. Besides incorporating security questions to verify details, AI-enabled image processing is an integral part of our Digital KYC process.

We establish identity consistency by comparing user images on selfies, institutional photographs, and photograph on official ID. We also detect liveliness using AI with live-action commands. Both these steps together significantly minimise instances of fraudulent customers.

Get in touch with us to know more about our streamlined Digital and Video kyc process – we can customise a solution based on your requirement.

PFRDA Allows Onboarding Subscribers via Video KYC (V-CIP)

The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) permitted its intermediaries on October 6 to use Video based Customer Identification Process (V-CIP) for new onboarding and/or account withdrawals by National Pension System (NPS) subscribers. PFRDA’s announcement comes on the heels of IRDAI allowing life and general insurers to leverage video KYC facility, to vet customer credentials for new customer onboarding. Earlier this year, the RBI had amended the KYC norms, thereby allowing all banks and lending institutions to use V-CIP. Not to forget that most NPS distributors are regulated by the SEBI and RBI, who had already approved video based KYC. It is not surprising that  PFRDA has followed suit.

The need and benefits are many, some obvious, and some not so much.

Why was the VCIP process required?

PFRDA which regulates NPS has been constantly introducing new methods of subscriber authentication and various modes of KYC to make the overall process seamless and subscriber friendly. It has already announced a slew of measures like offline Aadhaar based onboarding, third-party reliance for KYC, OTP/ eSign based onboarding and e-exit for eNPS Subscribers.

Still, NPS subscribers were facing many challenges. For instance, they had to be present for in-person verification at the POP (Points of Physical Presence) which resulted in a delay in the process of withdrawal as well as exit. Video-Based Customer Identification Process (VCIP) will do away with the requirement of compulsory physical presence. 

VCIP allows for remote/ at-home opening of NPS account

With the COVID-19 pandemic forcing everyone into their homes, the turnaround time for onboarding processes has gone up significantly. Residential buildings have multiple rules around allowing visitors, for instance, which adds to further inconvenience and friction.

VCIP, apart from making the overall process paperless and instantaneous, also helps subscribers avail NPS services without being physically present at the POPs. The truly remote and secure nature of VCIP allows for better customer experience

Cost-effective vis-a-vis Physical KYC

Video KYC is as much about speed as it is about cost effectiveness. Processes can be designed for minimal steps (UI) and great User experience (UX). Opting for digital video identification solutions also brings down the cost compared to physical KYC. Additionally, a single agent delivers 15-20x productivity of an in-field agent. If the average cost of physical KYC of the customer would cost Rs 200, the video-based process cost will come down to 10-20 percent of the entire cost over the medium to long term.

VCIP reduces dependency on third party service providers and facilitates 2 mins onboarding process

The traditional KYC process can often take 10-15 days as there are were too many steps, entities, and checks and balances involved. On the other hand, a direct two-way audio video communication between the customer and authorized agent of the regulated entity can be established, thereby eliminating the dependency on any third party. One can complete KYC and onboarding through VCIP in a single video call, powered by intelligent queuing and experience management algorithms, as it will be a direct interaction between the customer and the representative. The humanisation of digital channels creates seamless, empathy and higher conversion rates. Well designed journeys can be executed in less than 2 minutes

Video KYC makes life easier for intermediaries as well

As per the the new guidelines, Points of Presence (PoPs) registered with PFRDA, must adhere to the V-CIP guidelines, issued by regulators for performing NPS related activities. By doing this the PFRDA intermediaries will not have any extra burden due to the introduction of the VCIP facility.

Technologists often speculate about the next wave of customer engagement. Video, with the decreasing cost of bandwidth and increasing adoption of internet based communication (such as Whatsapp Videos, Tik-Tok, Zoom, etc.), is the next big of driving customer interactions, and will increasingly be used by businesses to drive B2C interactions. The introduction of VCIP across products will also drive positive impact  in financial inclusion initiatives; bringing people who were hitherto unable to avail financial services due to geographical and access challenges, time constraints or cost factor, into the mainstream.

Video-KYC sees a huge leap in 6 months, start-up Kwik.ID reports a jump of 1,00,000 sessions completed since February

Since the pandemic has shattered in-person customer identification to a large extent over various sectors of customer onboarding, Kwik.ID has made speedy headway in its growth trajectory. 

The regtech start-up witnessed a significant surge in its Video KYC session volumes, with an 85% + completion rate, significantly higher than industry averages, promising each session to be completed in under 2 minutes. In a market full of incumbents, albeit a late entrant, Kwik.ID already works with clients across multiple verticals – Fintech, NBFCs, Banks, Insurance, Lenders, Forex,  and the list goes on. 

MonishSalot, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officerof KwikID said, “Design and technical excellence, and superior performance has led us to reach such a wide audience in a short duration. Our product is naturally scalable to 100x of the current volumes. We always strive to do better than before and aim to fulfil the needs of today’s businesses and audience by staying relevant to them.”

The platform is expecting a 300%+ growth in daily sessions from November, as most institutions have shifted their customer onboarding tracks online for a seamless, accurate and remote process, and as the businesses open up. 

Adding to Monish’s viewpoint, Abhishek Joshi, Co-founder and Product Manager of KwiK.ID further added, “The pandemic has taken a toll on every aspect of our life and we need to come up with digital solutions to keep going. Kwik.ID Platform will continue to simplify the otherwise tedious process of safe and compliant customer onboarding and customer engagement. In today’s time, every time you get a face to face interaction with a customer, you have to make it count. It is not just about KYC. It’s about a memorable experience as well. ”

Various regulators and industry bodies have started seeing the potential of Video driven customeronboarding and KYC processes. This was only after the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDAI), Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) has permitted Video based customer identification process for NPS account opening. As per Frost & Sullivan research, the global regtech market is expected to reach $6.45 billion by 2020.

Kwik.ID Aspires to Maximise Agent Productivity

At Kwik.ID, instant customer onboarding via Video KYC and a high completion rate has always been at the heart of the company, but none of this is possible without exemplary customer service, achieved only by maximising agent productivity. From about 90,000 5 star sessions and 1,00,000 completed sessions since February, we are always striving to be the best video KYC solution providers in the industry.

Our array of features includes call queueing, call scheduling, estimating call times and more, to ensure you achieve an 85% completion rate and 100% customer satisfaction. To onboard customers seamlessly, it is imperative for our agents to monitor these queues and schedules for the best results. Here’s what goes into maximising their output and minimising your call time. 

Call scheduling by agents

In case the agent initiates the onboarding journey with a customer, he can schedule the call based on customer availability, to ease the process and maximise productivity, while ensuring there is no back and forth.

Link sharing made easy

In an agent-initiated Video KYC journey, the customer is sent a link to join the call. In the event that the link does not reach the customer via SMS, the agent can use any other social messaging platform integrated with our website, including email, WhatsApp or any other that the customer is comfortable with. This minimises the back and forth of requesting the link, as the agent can confirm immediately whether the customer has received it or not.

Low network bandwidth

AI plays an integral role in our digital KYC tool, be it for face recognition, liveliness, or OCR. We also integrate our AI feature to predict whether a call will be completed or not, taking into account factors like low bandwidth, customer location and more. If at any point the system detects that the call might not be completed, the agent isn’t patched in and the system requests the customer to schedule a call to enjoy a seamless process without any call drops.

Call scheduling by customers

Customers can match their availability with the agents and schedule a call to minimise the wait time at both ends. When booking a call, various dates and time slots are made available on the customer’s screen for easy access and instant scheduling.

Priority queueing

In the event that a potential customer has tried connecting previously but has dropped the call for a reason, or in case an agent fails to accept the assigned Video KYC call request or declines it within the threshold time, the customer is instantly added to the priority queue, which means he needn’t wait with another applicant again. The priority queue is also beneficial to customers in rural areas or those in areas with poor connectivity, to ensure their calls are prioritised and they don’t miss out on being onboarded soon. The priority queue is always checked before the standard queue. An active list of customers in the priority queue helps agents to align their time and schedule.

All of these options made available to both agents and customers, make the onboarding process much simpler. In addition, agents have access to live dashboards to quickly monitor customer data and statistics, as well as their own performance, so that they can keep striving for more.

Advanced Chat Solutions for Customer Growth

The pandemic has changed how businesses communicate with their customers in order to thrive. While face-to-face business takes a backseat and online engagement becomes the new trend, companies and customers, both take to the chat box as a support channel to communicate and boost professional growth.

In fact, at Kwik.ID, we too believe that a major part of our 85% completion rate success is credited to our own chat feature which we offer during the Video KYC process. Instant interaction with the agent via chat support, makes it quick, efficient, and convenient to onboard clients instantly without any hassle. As digital business picks pace, the chat feature seems to get better with time, enhancing its functionality and being integrated for complete support.

Not only does a good chat feature boost agent productivity and enhance customer experience but as chat features and chatbots get more advances, here’s why they are much talked about in the digital space:

AGENT BENEFITS –

Boosts productivity: When on a phone call, an agent needs to focus only on one call at a time, which may even get prolonged. With a dashboard, agents can analyse the call duration and the wait time, so as to prioritise chat sessions and upcoming calls, better.

Boosts customer engagement: If your chat option is worth it, you’ll naturally see customer growth because most people today, prefer using a chat option rather than working over emails and calls. Instead of a potential customer skipping your product midway, they now have an option to reach out to you and know more about your product, instantly, thereby leading to more interactions and queries. This also helps to gauge which potential buyers are genuinely interested in your product. You could also personalise the chat to give it a friendly touch.

Reduces customer repetition: In fast-paced business, customers have no time to repeat their personal details or share their queries over and over again. Modern business calls for modern methods like reviewing all customer details, while they share their enquiries on chat. Saving a chat will also allow both, customer and agent, to read through previous chats and resolve queries faster.

Streamlined feedback: A traditional onboarding would end with a phone call. Today, the chatbot type feature enables you to do a lot more. After ending a customer call, you can set up an auto-emailer, asking the customer for feedback. This would help put together more accurate feedback and improve your product offerings, if needed.

CUSTOMER BENEFITS –

Customer onboarding and acquisition made easy: Live interaction makes onboarding a breeze, when potential customers can’t get around the process soon enough and need added assistance. Often, customers from rural areas or those not familiar with the language may need added support, which they can access via the chat option, so the onboarding process is made easier. Kwik.ID’s multilingual chat functionality during VideoKYC provides ease of communication to the customers with the agent where language becomes a barrier.

Ease of access: Unprecedented call volumes may lead to disappointed customers who’ve waited long enough with their calls going unanswered. With a chatbot, an estimated wait time provided to potential customers keeps them informed about when they can expect an agent on chat, so they can manage their time better, as well.

Only adopting a digital KYC tool isn’t enough. What matters is adding a tool which is enabled with plenty of features to ensure that business keeps moving, even on the go. A chat channel helps build a loyal customer base that relies on you and enables quick communication, which is just what your business needs, today.

Video KYC – A Game Changer for the Insurance Market

Following in the footsteps of RBI, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India, most recently released a draft circular allowing Video KYC for insurance companies, giving many companies and policy buyers relief to do business at ease. The announcement came earlier this month as board regulators strive to ease compliance processes and minimize physical contact, while keeping business moving, ensuring no industry misses out.

With the new guidelines, the insurance sector shifts its KYC operations to a completely paperless approach, thereby doing away with Traditional KYC which had its own limitations. Some of these being:

  • Offline processes of document collection are risky as documents can be tampered with, or misused while changing hands and information maybe leaked
  • Completing the process manually might lead to errors, which often leads to KYC drop-offs because customers aren’t willing to repeatedly pay physical visits. This also lengthens the process of onboarding customers and hampers the overall customer experience, thereby affecting company’s goodwill
  • The turnaround time taking longer leads to higher costs of file processing and hence, higher costs of acquiring customers
  • In smaller cities and rural areas, insurance agents and company outlets are few, with poor access to these facilities. A Video KYC tool makes it convenient for companies to widen their reach across these areas so as to bring in more business while bridging the gap between urban and rural facilities.

As tech takes over and insurance companies are starting to implemenet the Video KYC Onboarding process, here’s how the best Video KYC tools from Kwik.ID can help make a difference:

  • Being 100% RBI compliant, highly accurate, and 100% secure as well, our premium Video KYC tools puts you at no risk of losing or leaking out information
  • Now, the process isn’t just RBI complaint, but 100% IRDAI compliant too, leaving no room for errors
  • Insurance involves money, and that’s something nobody wants to play around with. With our AI-enabled Facematch and Liveliness tools, we’ll ensure you don’t have to. These tools work in real time and match the person on the screen, with the photo on the documents, thereby eliminating the risk of bots
  • With the process lasting for barely 3 minutes and being a smooth sailing one, Video KYC drop-offs are minimum. So you can expect at least an 85% success rate while reaching out to potential customers
  • Making the process easier for smaller towns and rural areas, we at Kwik.ID also offer a low bandwidth mode that lets business continue, anytime, anywhere. Our chat feature and Natural Language feature also enables easy conversation between the authorised agent and the potential customer
  • Moreover, customers are kept well informed and given a guided tour well in advance to make sure all documents are in place and they are prepared, not leaving them overwhelmed during the video KYC process in any way
  • Queueing, routing and scheduling by Kwik.ID’s Video based KYC identification helps streamline processes better as busy customers are kept well informed and need to make themselves available only when asked to, as opposed to Traditional KYC, where multiple physical meetings maybe expected.
  • Built-in OVD verification services are used for instant verification by Regulated Entities

With business being low for a while, this new move by IRDAI gives new impetus to insurance companies to #KeepMoving forward and doing business smoothly with potential policy buyers, while not losing out. Why would they, when all it takes is 3 minutes?

Financial Inclusion and the Potential of Video KYC

Financial-Inclusion-and-the-Potential-of-Video-KYC

Financial inclusion has always been at the heart of India’s economic policy and with the introduction of Video KYC across sectors, we have come one step closer to achieving this very feat. Video-based remote KYC has paved the way for underbanked and unbanked areas in an attempt to provide equal financial access to all. Financial inclusion makes it easy for SMEs, millennials, professionals, entrepreneurs and others to apply for and receive loans, credit cards, and buy insurance policies, now more than ever, with easy Video KYC verification and completion of tedious procedures in minutes. 

Video KYC is especially key to tier 2 and tier 3 cities where bank branches are far and few, but essential banking services remain more imperative. Kwik.ID is designed to ensure that our Video KYC tool reaches even the farthest of rural areas with provisions for a low bandwidth mode and a guided step-by-step processes; all of which we believe bridge the gap between customers and businesses, all across India.

Since its launch, the potential of Video KYC has been immense, and with the lockdown, the market for Video KYC vendors continues to flourish. So far, people stuck indoors resorted to online payments via different avenues, but what about those who didn’t have a bank account? Going physically to the bank and submitting documents was risky because it involved close contact. Luckily for us, just prior to the lockdown, Video based KYC was introduced and adopted by different sectors for opening bank accounts, demat accounts, Forex, online wallets and more, which made business much smoother for many.

In the most recent circular issued by the IRDAI, the regulatory board also permits Video KYC for insurance companies, which proves to be a game-changing move for the sector that for so long, suffered from the lack of customers during the lockdown.

With the introduction of Video KYC for Banks and Aadhar-based KYC, lenders now have access to customer data, with their consent. As per RBI guidelines, banks need to update the KYC details periodically to maintain a record of their account holders. In addition to Video KYC processes carried out while opening an account, account holders are requested to go through a re-KYC and submit the necessary documents, albeit online.

Video KYC proves to be a boon for fin-tech companies too, because owing to the limited manual KYC centers, very few customers thought of tech finance as a viable option, as the process wasn’t streamlined online. There was a 40% drop in manual KYC as compared to digital KYC. Being entirely online, features like OCR, Facematch, Liveliness detection, Geo-tagging are of great use to fintech companies, especially start-ups who want to minimize cost. These features validate the evidence and also rectify inconsistent data, thereby eliminating discrepancies and saving time.

Slowly and steadily, Video KYC has seeped into every sector and every industry, be it finance or otherwise. Digital KYC hasn’t just digitized the process, but accelerated it, as well. The entire process from application to disbursal that would once take up to 10 days, now takes barely a few hours.

India’s powerful digital ecosystem coupled with the potential Video KYC can unleash, are key to the country’s economic progress by driving financial inclusion.

Video KYC -The ‘New Normal’ across Industries

With social distancing becoming the new normal and businesses going completely online, Digital KYC is now at the forefront to onboard customers instantly, while keeping a check on their records and doing what’s best for business.

Having adopted the best video KYC tools available for their business, both financial as well as non-financial companies find it a boon that lets their business move swiftly. With features like OCR, Facematch, geo-tagging, fraud detection, functioning Video KYC at low bandwidth, Video recording and more, businesses are quickly moving to digital KYC. Here’s a look at how this much-needed tool works, or will work across various sectors.

Banking, Financial Services and Insurance

Banks: For every customer who opens an account with a bank, whether demat, current, savings, or any other, RBI mandates a digital KYC for onboarding the customer. Using Video KYC verification helps banks keep a record of each and every customer via their Aadhaar Card, and link it to the corresponding bank account to track transactions. In order to update customer details regularly, banks also use Video KYC for Re-KYC which makes the entire process much simpler and quicker. 

Asset Management Companies: For all Asset Management Companies regulated by the SEBI, Video based KYC identification offers full KYC to minimise the risk of money laundering. The authentication process is swift, precise, and paperless, leading to a reduction in costs as well as onboarding time. AMCs have now started using Video KYC not only for individuals but while onboarding SMEs and other larger enterprises too.

Insurance: Video KYC’s Liveliness Detection, Facematch and personal discussion features, like the ones offered by Kwik.ID are salient for insurance companies where fraud is more likely. These features enhance the experience for clients and reduce digital risk for companies.

Lending: SMEs and Fintechs choose to use Video KYC verification for lending processes to make quick and informed decisions, while also making the lending process faster and smoother for the borrower. Many NBFCs use digital KYC for individual lending too.

Wallets: Online wallets are quickly becoming the top video KYC users. All this while, customers were asked to adopt the traditional means of submitting their Aadhaar manually at a centre. But with Video KYC in the picture, e-wallet onboarding can be done in less than 3 minutes from the comfort of your home.

Non-Financial institutions

Employee Onboarding: For large organisations, especially those with over a 100 employees, choosing the best Video KYC tool is the smartest way to store employee data, so as to transfer salaries and EPF and safeguard the interests of the company incase of any fraud.

Online Alcohol Delivery: With online alcohol delivery becoming the ‘new normal’, sellers have to be extremely cautious that the alcohol isn’t reaching the wrong hands. Here’s where Digital KYC comes into play. Right from age-restriction checks, geo-fencing, and address verification, KYC – platforms like KwikI.D are designed for Regulated Entities, thereby adapting themselves to simpler customer onboarding.

Telecom industry: Something that we’ve all witnessed is getting authenticated via KYC while being issued a new SIM card. With the shift in selling SIM cards online, network providers are gradually moving towards Video KYC for contactless and quick verification.

Rental/shared vehicle economy: While customers have to opt for Video KYC verification to add money to their wallets, transport apps have to go through it too, to register themselves and keep their accounts operational.

Co-working spaces: As entrepreneurs and businessmen have begun investing heavily in co-working spaces, their safety becomes a matter of concern for the property owner. The easiest way to keep a record of all the employees is via a video based KYC identification.

Educational platforms & exams:  While this seems to be in the making, with the pandemic, it won’t be long before schools and colleges use Digital KYC to enrol students, especially for competitive exams where cheating is rampant.

Gaming: Gaming is one of the largest sectors that witness cybersecurity and fraud because there’s plenty of money involved that can be easily tampered with. Luckily, because of Video KYC’s AI integrated Facematch Liveliness and fraud detection tools, like the ones we offer, make it easier to detect and shut down these fraudsters.

At Kwik.ID, we understand the importance of security and the need to constantly evolve, especially while doing business online. As leading video KYC solution providers, we aspire to facilitate easy digital KYC across every sector, big or small.

Call Queues and Scheduling Made Easy With Kwik.ID

At Kwik.ID, we understand the importance of good customer service, so apart from striving to be the best Video KYC solution providers in the industry, we also strive to make the Digital KYC tools smooth and quick-paced. From handheld processes, AI-powered Facematch and Liveliness, to Video KYC at low bandwidth, we offer it all. Among the array of features are our call queue and scheduling feature, which promises 100% efficiency and customer satisfaction.

To onboard Digital KYC customers seamlessly, it is imperative to monitor these call queues consistently and lower the average call queue time to as low as 1 minute. This results in new sales opportunities, goodwill, and encourages brand awareness.

Here’s why queue call management matters if you want to achieve an above 85% completion rate from your video KYC verification:

Low Call Abandonment Rates: The longer your potential customer is kept waiting, the higher the chances of him dropping off from your business entirely and choosing a competitor. Moreover, by reducing call abandonment rates, your business can handle a higher volume of calls.

2. High First-Call Rates: Attending to a customer on the first call indicates that your business is a good service provider.

3. Minimised Costs: When you schedule a digital KYC session call with a potential customer, you reduce the hold time to free up the toll-free lines and receive more calls.

Sometimes, these rates tend to be low and costs aren’t minimised enough, leading to your Video KYC verification tool not working effectively enough. This can happen because of the following reasons:

1. Outdated Technology: One of our top priorities at Kwik.ID is to make our Video KYC tools compatible with every Android and iOS device, while offering Video KYC at low bandwidth. While outdated technology is definitely something that can lead to call drops even after queueing and scheduling, we promise a smooth process by offering comprehensive customer information before agents answer the call.

2. Under-staffing: Inspite of offering a host of features, even the best video KYC tool is nothing without enough agents who’ll handle the calls. Your calls might keep piling up and there’d be nobody around to respond to them.

3. Long Handling Times: A call attended to might take longer than expected because the agent isn’t cooperating with the caller or interrupting the caller.

With Kwik.ID’s video KYC verification, rest assured these problems won’t come into play with our carefully segmented call queues and scheduling, to maximise your success rate to over 85%. Our process begins by segregating the queues into two – standard queue and priority queue. Every potential customer is first put into the standard queue by default before they are assigned an agent. Based on the age, if the customer is a senior citizen, and/or based on location if a customer belongs to a rural area, he is placed in the priority queue. Also, in case a customer’s call is disconnected by an agent once or an agent is unable to respond to the customer’s request within the threshold wait time, he is placed in the priority queue. This queue exists to ensure that the applicant is served at priority and does not have to wait with another applicant again. Further, it eases the process for customers and helps them at each step, if they aren’t technologically equipped or are functioning on low bandwidth mode. The priority queue is checked before checking the standard queue. After assigning all the priority customers to agents, we then proceed to the standard queue.

For the best digital KYC call queueing and scheduling practices, we suggest the following:

1. Call Management: Keep call wait time shorter than 2 minutes to avoid call drops.

2. Queue Management: Monitor LIVE data from our dashboard

3. Funnel Management: Study what stage of the call customers are dropping off at, so you can identify the problem and rectify it instantly

4. Agent Management: Track your agents’ data carefully so you can solve any issues with their performance

Kwik.ID’s queueing and scheduling of call functionality, coupled with live dashboards for admin monitoring, makes Kwik.ID one of the best Video KYC tool for your business.
