Client challenge

The bank wanted to undertake a digital transformation of their lending processes and reduce the end-to-end customer turnaround time with an increase in digital penetration.

Icon Front-office challenge

The bank did not have any end-to-end digital journeys, and all bank branches followed physical form filling and document collection leading to increased customer turnaround time.


Physical signing of loan agreements resulted in mandatory customer visits to bank branches which would take up additional bandwidth of the branch staff and result in delays in loan disbursement.


Icon Middle-office challenge

The bank required setting up a digital vertical for processes and functions related to digital lending and digital banking.

Icon Back-office challenge

The bank’s customer journeys required manual intervention at every leg, with involvement from multiple stakeholders across different teams, resulting in high end-to-end turnaround time.


Manual credit assessment for every case led to low employee throughput and non-standardised person-dependent sanction decisions.


KPMG in India's approach

KPMG in India used the Connected Approach over two phases. As the engagements were centred on the digital transformation of all the products across the bank, KPMG in India divided the entire programme into different workstreams, formed sub-teams and framed the outcomes expected across each team.

Phase 1

KPMG in India framed the bank’s digital vision, defined objectives and key results and analysed as-is value streams across retail, MSME and agricultural product lines.

Phase 2

KPMG in India designed future state customer journeys across 20+ products, built a value case for new initiatives, set up an implementation roadmap and drove implementation for 50+ prioritised ‘digital first’ customer journeys across product lines.
