What Makes MANTL Different from Traditional Account Opening Systems?
MANTL replaces slow, form-heavy account opening with an omnichannel origination platform that automates decisions, connects digital and branch journeys, and integrates directly with your core. Instead of forcing customers and staff through disconnected tools, you get one front door for consumer and business deposits that is built to convert, scale, and control risk.
Traditional account opening systems were built for operations and compliance first—not customer experience. They rely on rigid workflows, fragmented digital and branch tools, and heavy back-office review. MANTL starts from the opposite direction: it is a high-performing account origination layer that sits above your core, orchestrates every channel in real time, and automates most decisions using rich data and fraud controls. The result is faster openings, higher funding, and less manual work for both customers and staff.
How MANTL Reimagines Account Opening
The MANTL Model vs. Traditional Account Opening
Use this lens to understand how a MANTL-like platform changes the economics of account opening—from application and decisioning through funding, onboarding, and cross-sell.
Legacy Stack → Unified Origination → Growth Engine
- Channel experience: Traditional systems separate online, branch, and call center tools. A MANTL-style approach unifies them, letting customers and staff pick up the same application in any channel with consistent status and data.
- Decisioning & risk: Legacy tools lean on manual review and basic scorecards. Modern origination uses layered data, dynamic rules, and automated decisions to approve good customers faster while screening out fraud.
- Implementation & change: Older platforms require long projects, heavy IT lift, and hard-coded workflows. MANTL emphasizes configurable journeys, faster deployments, and the ability to test and iterate without core rewrites.
- Customer effort: Traditional account opening often means repetitive data entry, paper signatures, and branch visits. MANTL compresses steps into a streamlined digital flow with e-sign, real-time verification, and immediate funding.
- Operational workload: Back-office teams in legacy environments spend hours chasing documents and re-keying applications. With MANTL, automated checks, queues, and worklists reduce manual touch while preserving control.
- Insight & optimization: Old reports focus on opened accounts by product or channel. A modern platform illuminates the entire funnel—views, starts, abandons, approvals, funding, and early engagement—so you can continuously optimize.
- Strategic flexibility: Legacy solutions make it hard to launch new brands or products. MANTL’s unified layer allows you to spin up digital brands, pilot new offerings, and scale into new geographies quickly.
