BBVA global head of customer solutions Gonzalo Rodríguez said: “Our goal is to have digital enrollment available to all users across our operating footprint by the end of 2019.”
BBVA uses selfie-video authentication technology to on-board the customers. The technology is developed by Veridas, its joint venture (JV) unit with Das-Nano.
To enable digital on-boarding, the bank is using old technology modified to suit different regions and requirements.
In Colombia, a customer can open an account through the web. In other regions, customers can complete the process through the BBVA app.

Rodríguez added: “We want customers to have access to maximum banking features and services via their preferred channel at any time of day or night, conveniently and safely.”
