How we build

Our step-by-step way of rebuilding onboarding.

A proven roadmap turning regulated onboarding into bounded, audit-cleared stages with evidence built in.

  1. 1
    Week 1–3

    Audit the funnel & map the regulator surface

    We measure the abandonment funnel, map the FCA Consumer Duty and AML surface, then lock a costed build plan.

  2. 2
    Before any code

    Design the journey & threat model

    A five-screen journey, vendor pick, vulnerable-customer pathway, and signed threat model, cleared before any code.

  3. 3
    Week 4–8

    Build in vertical slices

    Capture, biometric, screening, and analytics build in parallel pods behind feature flags, with CI gates from commit one.

  4. 4
    Week 9–12

    Harden, clear & launch

    Pen-test, accessibility audit, and FCA evidence pack. Then pilot a 1,000-customer cohort, clear supervisory review, and scale.

Why BritonOne Technology

Why firms rebuild onboarding with us.

Regulated onboarding is the work we do most. Every reason below is one a reference client will confirm on a call.

  • Regulator-fluent architects

    The architect on your discovery call is the one in your FCA meeting. Consumer Duty and the JMLSG guidance are design inputs, not gates.

  • We run inside your cloud

    Your AWS, Azure, or GCP account, your IAM, your KMS: no applicant data held, no shadow copies. The model FCA SYSC accepts.

  • Evidence produced in step

    Per-decision evidence, the abandonment funnel, and the Consumer Duty pack ship each sprint, not a scramble before submission.

  • Bounded, costed scope

    A paid two-week diagnostic and a fixed-price build plan: no open-ended retainers, no scope that quietly expands.

  • One senior team, end to end

    Capture, identity, AML screening, the vulnerable pathway, and 24×7 SRE from one senior pod, no hand-off cliff.

  • Proven on FCA timelines

    We rebuilt a challenger bank's onboarding from 41% to 78% completion, cleared at the first supervisory review.

Every quote below comes from a programme we shipped, and a reference our prospects are welcome to call.

Completion went from 41% to 78%.

Onboarding completion went from 41% to 78% in three months. The single biggest shift: PEP and sanctions screening moved inline instead of queueing for back-office review. Customers stopped walking.

Chief Technology OfficerUK challenger bank, Series-B
Common questions about customer onboarding

What heads of customer and CROs ask before approving a rebuild.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, and this is the single most common misperception. AML rigour is not about journey friction; it is about decision quality. The BritonOne Technology shape moves PEP / sanctions / adverse-media screening to real-time inline (median <30 seconds) so applicants are not waiting; moves AML risk-scoring to an explainable inline model; and shifts EDD case-management to a separate workflow where back-office work continues after the customer is funded. AML controls hold or strengthen; abandonment falls below 22%.
