2. Creation of Corporate Customer

2.1 Introduction

The process begins when a prospect/customer approaches the bank (via phone / net banking or by walking into the branch) with an account opening request or when the bank initiates the process by approaching a prospect-lead from its database. In case of a bank-initiated request, the process continues only if the prospect is interested. The process continues with the receipt of the required set of documents by the bank from the customer for savings account opening, which is followed by New Customer Due Diligence (NCDD) check. If the NCDD check is not passed for a customer, the application is rejected. For a customer who passes the NCDD check, the customer account is opened in Oracle FLEXCUBE and the kit is dispatched.
