Verzögerter Customer Onboarding durch komplexe Video-Identifikation
Definition
BaFin's video identification requirements are noted as 'confusing for business, tough for clients and therefore detrimental to onboarding' [Source 2]. Manual video review, identity verification, and document quality checks create queues. Each customer may wait 3-10 business days for manual reviewer availability. For high-volume exchanges, this means lost trading fees, customer churn, and idle compliance staff during slow verification periods.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: 5-15 days onboarding delay per customer; est. €2-8 lost trading fee per day per customer; capacity loss of 10-20% in peak onboarding periods; estimated 50-200 lost customer accounts annually per mid-sized exchange
- Frequency: Continuous; worst during marketing campaigns or market rallies
- Root Cause: Manual video identification review; lack of automated document quality checks; BaFin's strict video procedure requirements (including operator training)
