Business Benefits

Cost-effective Business Engine
Finacle inclusion solution enables banks to gain access to a new customer segment and cash in on rich hitherto untapped deposit bases, by setting up a low-cost channel to bank the unbanked.

Banks can deploy the solution to on-board customers offline, even in the absence of Internet connectivity. Offline banking is enabled through ubiquitous and easy to use devices such as laptops. The innovative spot-registration process supports both smart-card and simple ID card-based banking, reducing customer on-boarding time and lowering entry barriers. The solution can be easily deployed by the bank’s staff or business correspondents.
