What are the key features of account opening through WhatsApp?

Understand the key features and functionalities of WhatsApp onboarding:

• Automated Onboarding Flow

The onboarding feature incorporates automated workflows that guide users through the necessary steps. From collecting essential information to preferences, the process is streamlined, ensuring a smooth and efficient user journey.

• Seamless Data Collection and Integration

What is the process to open a demat account via WhatsApp?

To open an account via WhatsApp, the user needs to have an active WhatsApp account on their mobile devices. Here's the step-by-step process for a quick understanding:

• A user interested in opening an account with FYERS should send a 'Hi' message on WhatsApp to +919731162865 or click here to get started immediately.

• Now the user will get prompted to validate their number using an OTP.

• Post validation, images of important documents, such as PAN and Aadhaar, will be collected and scanned for verification. The user can manually enter details if the document scan system's response is unsatisfactory.

• To proceed, minimal bank details, including the account number and IFSC, are collected and validated using a penny-drop mechanism. The manual entry option will be available if validation fails.

• Additional information is taken from the user, with the convenience of selecting options from a 'list feature' rather than manual entry.

• Lastly, a signature image will prompt, and a direct access link will be provided to complete the remaining steps on the Open Account portal, such as video verification, selfie upload, and e-signature.

Why are the remaining steps completed on the Open Account portal?

While WhatsApp offers a convenient and user-friendly platform for communication and onboarding, certain features and functionalities may not be available due to platform limitations. So, the WhatsApp platform provides a direct access link to the portal after the user uploads the signature. The remaining processes, including video Verification, selfie Upload, and e-sign, must be done on the OpenAccount portal.
