Mitek Enables ANNA Money to Increase New Customer Acquisition

Mitek (NASDAQ:MITK) announced that ANNA Money has doubled the speed of its customer on boarding process and achieved its target of 25 percent more customers in three months.

The company engaged in mobile capture and digital identity verification solutions said that ANNA Money, the business account app for start-ups and small business achieved its target as a result of integrating Mitek’s digital identity verification.

As quoted in the press release:

“Our customer base of UK startups, sole traders and SMEs use our services to help their business cash flow. We support our customers with their financial admin, sending and chasing invoices to facilitate payments – but first, we have to onboard them efficiently and securely, and in compliance with Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations,” said Daljit Singh, Chief Design Officer at ANNA Money. “Our previous process had many roadblocks for onboarding new customers, and we were seeing abandonment rates climb.”

“As our customers take their first step on their entrepreneurial journey, we needed to provide a simple and efficient process,” Singh explained. “To do so, we required a much more flexible identity verification provider who could verify all types of ID – including driving licences and ID cards. In Mitek, we found a partner whose technology enables our customers to sign up to the service quickly, on the go, and without unnecessary bureaucracy.”

ANNA Money chose Mitek’s Mobile Verify®, and integrated this technology into their chatbot-style onboarding process in August 2018. It’s intuitive customer experience guides customers to take accurate pictures of identity documents, to instanteously assess the authenticity of the identity to accelerate the onboarding process and ensure regulatory compliance. “By improving our process and empowering new customers to use their chosen form of ID, we have doubled the speed at which we can onboard customers,” said Singh. “We have also been able to reach our target of increasing our customer base by 25% in only three months. We wouldn’t have achieved this important milestone without these improvements to our identity verification process.”

“Identity verification is vital to comply with regulation and protect businesses – but this doesn’t need to come at the expense of good customer experience,” said Rene Hendrikse, EMEA MD at Mitek. “Speed and flexibility are crucial for small businesses selecting new services, and ANNA Money recognised the need to provide this for new customers. We are delighted to support them on reaching their targets for customer growth, and are proud to play a key role in ANNA Money’s innovative services for small businesses.”
