1014.Insights: How do you onboard a borderless business?
Fintech Insider Podcast by 11:FS
Specialization and product focus for onboarding
Ivan suggests fintechs should specialise by industry or flow, building best-in-class onboarding for specific business types.
About this episode:
In this episode, in partnership with 3S Money, host Benjamin Ensor is joined by a panel of experts to unpack a challenge that affects every business in financial services: the broken state of business onboarding.
Whether you’re a fintech startup, a digital bank, or a licensed financial institution, onboarding a business is where the innovation stops and the compliance chaos begins. The team explores why onboarding for mid-market businesses-too complex for SME flows, too small for enterprise-grade service- is still largely overlooked.
From multi-entity, multi-director companies to globally distributed teams and borderless founders, they break down why KYC for businesses is still miles behind the streamlined experience we’ve come to expect in retail. They also explore what it takes to verify complex business structures, and why the “missing middle” continues to be ignored.
Looking further ahead, the discussion zooms out to the rise of Offshore Banking 2.0: how do you onboard a business that lives everywhere and nowhere at once?
Whether you’re building compliance processes, leading a fintech, or just curious about the forces shaping business onboarding today, this episode is packed with insights on how the industry can finally solve one of its most persistent pain points. Enjoy the listen!
