3. 3 Introduction
3.1 Project Summary
3.1.1 Objectives
Develop an online application form for account opening purposes.
The online application form shall be available on the bank’s web site and mobile app login page as a link that
will lead the applicant to the account opening form screens.
The online application shall be available for the use of all prospect customers located within and outside
Jordan.
The online application once filled and submitted by the customer, all information filled and selected by the
customer should identically reflected on Siebel system.
The remaining steps for account completion should be conducted by the branch selected by the customer
within one minute.
Note: Account opening completion can be done abroad through selected corresponding banks (to be covered by
procedures).
3.1.2 Background
Branch-assisted online account opening is no longer a luxury, but a differentiator when consumers are shopping
for a new bank or credit union. It will transform new account opening, allowing more time for discovering the
needs of the new customer, determining optimal financial solutions, and building a better onboarding
experience.
3.1.2.1 Business Drivers
Customers are looking for faster way to open their accounts, and may consider competitors if needs are not
met.
Online account opening provides offshore customers and expatriates the opportunity to open their accounts
abroad.
Customers can complete their applications anytime anywhere.
Online account opening reduces the time needed by the branch to complete the account opening
process(less effort) and therefore, it provides more time for the customer service staff to focus on their
sales target.
4. 3.2 Project Scope
The development of a secure online application form for the purpose of account opening. The form is to be
invoked by clicking on a designated link available on the bank’s web and mobile portals. Online loan application
is out of the scope of this document.
3.2.1 In Scope Functionality
Ability to apply for account opening at any time(24/7) through the bank’s web site and mobile channels
Ability to choose the branch at which the customer wishes to domicile his/her account in
Ability to select the account class the customer wishes to open from a predefined list of values (i.e. Current,
Saving, Salary …. Etc.)
Ability to apply for a debit card and link it to the newly opened account
Reporting on new, failed, and successful online account openings by time period and branch
3.2.2 Out of Scope Functionality
Ability to apply online for a loan/ credit card
Ability to apply online for a prepaid card
Ability to apply for a joint account opening
3.3 System Perspective
Limited resources available for project execution, monitoring and controlling.
Other prioritized projects still pending in the pipeline.
Regulatory and compliance issues may arise against allowing the account opening for customers residing
outside Jordan.
3.3.1 Assumptions
Account opening form to be printed from Siebel system.
Requirements documentation and approvals to be completed by the end of May, 2016.
Fully dedicated resource will be provided from business integration department to participate proactively in
all project phases.
3.3.2 Constraints
Data security requirements may impact the Go Live date set for the project.
Timeline for Siebel updates will impact execution of testing plan.
3.3.3 Risks
Previously approved projects may limit availability of development and QA resources.
Development of the online account opening form may affect the timeline set for the bank’s website
renovation project.
