QOOBISS: Online Loan Approval Rate Has Doubled In The Last 4 Years In Romania

The approval rate of online loans granted by financial-banking institutions has doubled in the last 4 years, in Romania, according to an analysis by Qoobiss, the developer of the Qoobiss Identify solution, which offers a secure and digitized identity verification process at distance using video resources.

The companies that have implemented Qoobiss Identify have been able to increase sales and improve their performance significantly. Thus, for example, with the help of the eKYC solution, one of the institutions, with its core business in offering loans, achieved a 2.5-fold increase in online credit applications this year compared to 2019. The amount financed increased by more than 4 times, and the number of financed contracts is almost 3 times higher.

The migration of financial services to the digital environment has determined the search for innovative and technological solutions to meet the needs of customers. Users can apply to open an account or credit based on their ID card only, and thanks to eKYC solutions like Qoobiss Identify, they can remotely validate their identity in less than 1 minute. At the same time, the lending process is streamlined, with the implementation of an end-to-end onboarding service (Qbiz Management System).

“Currently, there is an orientation of financial institutions towards technology, manifested by the reduction of physical presence. The focus is especially on providing digital financial services, accessible wherever there is an internet connection. Adopting the most advanced technologies and optimizing the number of work points leads to an increase in sales and, implicitly, to a decrease in operational costs. With the help of the remote identification solution using video resources, Qoobiss Identify, and of a simplified end-to-end onboarding process, obtaining an online loan becomes a simple, easy and very advantageous process. To access online services, the customer who wants to access a financing solution, only needs the identity card and a smartphone with internet access”, says Ileana Comănescu, KYC Global Product Manager at Qoobiss.
