Create User Flow

What

User onboarding is the culmination of your marketing campaign and the beginning of your relationship with the user. It's important to provide a smooth onboarding experience in order to maximize your conversion rate.

Why

• Long onboarding times drastically increase abandonment

• Users are more likely to provide additional KYC information in order to activate their account rather than create their account

• Consumers are very sensitive to KYC friction

• Business users are familiar and tolerant of KYB friction

Notes:

• Onboarding as a business user is a time commitment. In order to minimize dropoff during the onboarding process, we recommend giving users access to the application before they have finished supplying all of the required KYC & KYB.

• Users must be aware that their account is not active and that they must be verified before they can start transacting.

• Business Onboarding can take time in order to verify all of the required information
