The client
The client is the Colombian banking arm of one of Latin America's largest retail groups. With roughly 1.7 million credit cards, it is the country's second-largest issuer, according to Colombia's Financial Superintendency, in a market of about 16.6 million cards.
Its model blends banking with the shopping experience: many customers arrive through points of sale, where the chance to offer a card is won or lost in minutes. If the customer has to come back another day or wait for a call, the sale goes cold.
The challenge
The bank wanted credit card approval to happen on the spot, from a mobile device, without compromising the security that cardholder data demands. The goals were very specific:
- Mobile approval: enable application and approval from mobile devices, for both employees and customers.
- Fewer than 5 steps: a short process that doesn't lose applicants halfway through.
- An answer in under 5 minutes: a decision that arrives while the customer is still there.
- No shortcuts on PCI DSS: protecting data in line with the payment card industry standard.
Before and after
The goal
Approval on the spot
Fewer than 5 steps, an answer in under 5 minutes, from a mobile device and PCI DSS compliant.
Today
Secure Forms on mobile
GoAnywhere secure forms connected to the credit bureaus, approving more than 500 cards a day.
The solution
Redsis implemented Secure Forms, the secure web-forms module of Fortra GoAnywhere MFT, adapted for mobile devices. Secure Forms captures data and documents through customizable HTTPS web forms; every submission automatically triggers a GoAnywhere workflow (Project) that processes, validates and routes the information.
Here, that workflow was integrated with the credit bureaus, so the check behind each credit decision runs automatically, with no rework or manual re-keying. The build was designed in 5 days on a scalable architecture ready to grow with application volume.
GoAnywhere capabilities the bank relies on
- Customizable web forms with fields, dropdowns, checkboxes and file uploads, usable on mobile.
- AES-256 encryption for data in transit and at rest.
- Automatic workflow triggers (Advanced Workflows) on submission to validate and route data.
- Integration with external services such as credit bureaus, without point-to-point custom code.
- Submission history and audit trails for internal control and PCI DSS compliance.
