Product Overview

We created Apply+ to help businesses reduce the amount of information consumers need to input manually as part of an online application process, utilising the benefits of open banking data automatically.

Apply+ improves conversion of online applications by pre-populating required information like your customer’s name, age and address as part of a digital application, without asking them to type in any of this information.

Simply the Digital Onboarding Process  

Online applications can often be long and difficult and consumers don’t want to spend time and energy filling out online forms. Digital maturity has made consumers demand slicker and effortless journeys, putting increased pressure on organisations to make customer journeys as easy as possible to reduce the risk of consumers dropping out of the process.
