Skipton International has launched a new video on-boarding process in response to social distancing measures during the covid-19 lockdown.
With immediate effect customers can complete the application process to open an account from home, using email and video technology to verify their identity.
Jim Coupe, Managing Director of Skipton International, said: “We recognise how difficult it may be for customers to send us documentation in the post at this difficult time, so we have put in place this alternative to make opening a savings account quicker and easier. As a Guernsey bank, we have always been able to react quickly to changes in circumstances, allowing us to utilise new guidance on video verifications offered by our regulator.

“We use every opportunity to connect and make a good impression with our customers and we hope that this new fast and efficient system will make saving with Skipton easier than ever before. These difficult times may have forced us to adapt quickly, but it has also shown us how we can use digital technology more and I would expect digital onboarding to quickly become the norm.”
