What would my team's responsibility be?

Personal:

As Starling is a branchless-bank, we don't ask customers to provide paper copies of their ID documentation or join a long physical queue to open their accounts. Our onboarding process is simple, quick and efficient. Customers can open accounts through our App by recording a quick video, filling out their personal information and uploading photos of their documentation. Your team of Onboarding Team Members would review the information provided, liaise with customers through our App or via a phone call for more information and approve or decline their application. We want our customers to have a speedy onboarding experience, this means we're looking for motivated, diligent Starlings to join our team.

Business:

After being accepted to Starling for a personal account, we get to work on our customers' business account applications. Our App guides customers through some questions about their business - about their corporations status, the type of business that they are and information about where their customers and suppliers are. There is ample opportunity to add information or upload photos of documents that verify the business. Your team's role here is to explore the information provided, understand whether it fully supports the application and approve or decline the account. This requires a keen eye for detail, but also an inquisitive nature leading to confident, timely decisions.
