Context

When branch visits became hard amid the 2022 full-scale invasion, the bank needed to let customers open a full account remotely — fast, and in full regulatory compliance.

My contribution

  • Delivered requirements for remote account opening: video verification and a remote KYC flow.
  • Captured KYC/AML rules with compliance as testable acceptance criteria.
  • Mapped the onboarding journey (As-Is / To-Be) and validated delivery in UAT.

Approach

  1. 1Discovery — onboarding journey mapping under crisis constraints.
  2. 2Requirements — KYC/AML acceptance-criteria table and the video-verification flow.
  3. 3Delivery — mobile remote onboarding with compliance built in.
  4. 4Validation — UAT and post-launch activation tracking.

What I’d do next / learnings

Under a hard deadline, writing KYC/AML rules as testable acceptance criteria kept compliance and engineering moving in the same direction.
