Originations sequence

Digital Experience

The originations sequence has been created to increase consistency across our digital experiences and to help apply our CX principles and standards. It also helps reduce the time it takes to create, iterate, and build.

When designing your flows, your product application will need to consider:

  • Product choice and entry *
  • Pre-application
  • Customer details
  • Business details
  • Identity check
  • Product configuration *
  • Finance *
  • Review
  • Online Banking
  • Review *
  • Post-application

*These items are variable and may change with each product.

Each project will need to consider if the variable items are needed. However, the default sequence and patterns that follow must be applied to every project.

Why do we do it this way?

Be brilliantly simple

We do it this way so we can be brilliantly simple:

  • The customer is only shown information that is relevant to their application, which makes the process easier for them
  • Our questions are ordered from easiest to hardest in the journey so people achieve early wins, feel less overwhelmed, and are more likely complete the application journey
  • We group things that make sense
  • We’ve reduced the number of questions and focus on what is needed
  • The sequence is structured in a way that reduces cognitive load, so customers are less likely to make mistakes.
