The initial QFD™ phase consists of establishing the front and back-office processes including integration, business rules, correspondence, and regulatory automation points. Subsequent phases include add-ons based on clients’ core business goals. We onboard our clients using industry and compliance best practices and allow for extensive configurations and custom development of interfaces with supporting platforms to ensure QFD™ embodies your brand and account holder treatment while enhancing your customer experience. 
Additional features like self-service through online and mobile banking, our fraud management AI ARIA®, software localization packages, and more can be added throughout the lifetime of our partnership.
