Digital onboarding: why is the registration process abandoned in digital channels?

In today's digital era, the seamless incorporation of clients and new users into the digital platforms of banks and retailers stands as a crucial factor for competitive differentiation and revenue growth. This digital transformation allows broader accessibility to products and services, eliminating the need for physical visits to brick-and-mortar branches. However, a significant challenge arises in the form of complexities associated with digital onboarding, leading to high rejection rates and user abandonment during the process.


The Onboarding Challenge:

According to data from the financial sector, a mere 15% to 35% of individuals who initiate the onboarding process successfully complete it. This issue extends beyond banking, affecting 90% of companies globally across various sectors, resulting in the loss of potential customers. Whether in finance, retail, or service industries, the incorporation of digital tools demands a user-centric approach to overcome the hurdles of lengthy procedures, lack of visibility, and security concerns.

Understanding User Interactions:

To address these challenges, companies must prioritize the user experience, comprehending how individuals interact with digital channels. Speed, efficiency, security, and trust are paramount to ensure successful onboarding.

Colombian Dollar: This will move it during the week

 The dollar in Colombia ended last week with new falls and leading the exchange rate to reach $4,000.

The US currency maintains its behavior tied to what is happening with the economic activity of the United States and various local scenarios that include some outcomes of political events.

In this way, the dollar in Colombia , after even having fallen below the $4,000 barrier , is now awaiting new messages from the FED about the future of inflation.

Although in its most recent meeting the FED stated that it did not rule out a new increase in interest rates at the end of the year, there are some data that may lead to a scenario of stability in the future.

On the one hand, for example, the United States labor market left an unemployment rate higher than what the market was predicting.

Will the dollar rise in Colombia?

The above led the market to understand that, at least from the consumption side, inflation could account for a context of stability.
