1 Credit Cards Application

This topic describes the structure of the Credit Cards application, which captures information regarding the applicant's personal, employment, and financial information.

By definition, a credit card is a rectangular piece of plastic or metal issued by a bank or a financial institute to enable the card holder to borrow funds in order to purchase goods and services from merchants that accept cards for payment.

The credit card application has been built so as to capture basic personal, employment and financial information of the applicant. The applicant can also define preferences such as whether add-on card holders are to be added to the card and if balance transfers are to be defined.

The application form is OCR (Optical Character Recognition) enabled so as to save the applicant’s time and effort in filling out the application form. The inline document upload feature that is provided on various sections of the form, enables the applicant to upload supporting documents to have the specific section prefilled with information.

Online KYC of the prospect can also be conducted by means of liveness check or through integration with third party identity verification service providers. For more information, please refer User Manual Oracle Banking Digital Experience Originations - KYC Modes.

Once the applicant’s identity is verified successfully through online KYC, he/she will be able to proceed with the application form. The personal information section will also be prefilled with information as fetched on the basis of the identification provided.

Existing digital banking customers can simply provide their online banking credentials to log in to the system.

The application form also has the feature of QR code scan enablement which can be used to continue applications on mobile devices.

The application tracker has been built so as to enable tracking of the application once it has been submitted. The application tracker also enables the applicant to retrieve and complete an application that has been saved. Additionally, the applicant can view documents that have been uploaded as part of the application form and can also view details as defined in the application form in PDF format.

Note:

  1. When integrated with OBO as the host, the Credit Card Preferences step will only contain the feature enabling the applicant to apply for add-on cards.
  2. OBDX is integrated with Oracle KYC to fetch the applicant’s risk level (high risk or low risk) along with the reference number for the same as generated in the Oracle KYC system, at the time of application submission. OBDX will further send this information to the mid office system to be utilized as required.
