Compliant by Design. Client-Facing by Choice.

OpenSME helps SME-focused fintechs, insurance brokers, and financial service providers digitise client onboarding, claims processing, and compliance workflows, delivering the credibility and responsiveness of a large institution at an SME-appropriate cost and speed.

Regulated Environments Demand Digital Foundations.

Financial services and insurance operators face a dual pressure: regulatory requirements are increasingly demanding digital evidence, audit trails, and verifiable processes, while clients expect the same seamless digital experience from their financial provider that they get from every other service in their life.

For SME-scale operators, the gap between these expectations and current operational reality creates both regulatory risk and client attrition risk. Closing it does not require a major platform replacement. It requires the right components, deployed in the right sequence.

Common Pain Points
  • Client onboarding involves multiple PDF forms, manual identity verification, and email chasing, taking days where it should take hours
  • Claims or policy servicing requests received via email with no structured tracking or SLA visibility
  • Compliance obligations tracked in spreadsheets with no automated monitoring
  • No client-facing portal where clients can check application or claim status
  • Risk assessment and underwriting data collected via paper or unstructured email attachments
  • Regulatory reporting compiled manually at period end from multiple disconnected systems

Use Cases

How It Comes Together in Practice

Typical operational scenarios for your industry — and how OpenSME components address each one in a real deployment.

01

Digital Client Onboarding for an Insurance Broker

Scenario

A specialist insurance brokerage onboards new corporate clients through a process involving multiple email exchanges, PDF forms, manual identity verification, and a final review meeting. Average onboarding time is 11 business days.

Components

Field Forms Builder creates a structured digital onboarding form collecting company information, risk profile, KYC declarations, and document uploads in a single guided workflow. Compliance Monitor tracks KYC and AML completion. Client Portal gives clients visibility of their onboarding status in real time.

Outcome

Average onboarding time drops to 3.5 business days. Operations staff redirect 30% of their time from onboarding administration to client relationship activity. Client satisfaction with the onboarding experience improves significantly.

02

Structured Claims Management for a Fintech Insurer

Scenario

A digital insurance startup receives 80 to 120 claims per month via email. Claims are manually logged into a spreadsheet, assigned by the claims manager via email, and tracked by checking individual email threads. SLA breaches are only discovered after clients escalate.

Components

Field Forms Builder creates a structured claims submission form accessible from the client portal. AI Classifier automatically categorises and prioritises each claim on receipt. Client Portal allows clients to check their claim status without calling or emailing. Compliance Monitor flags claims approaching SLA breach 24 hours in advance.

Outcome

SLA breach rate drops from 18% to below 2%. The claims manager daily administration time drops from 3 hours to 45 minutes. Client complaints related to claims status uncertainty decrease by 85%.

03

Regulatory Compliance That Runs Itself

Scenario

A licensed fund administrator subject to MAS regulatory requirements maintains compliance records in a shared drive and tracks submission deadlines on a wall calendar. An internal audit finds two AML review deadlines were missed in the previous year, undetected until the audit.

Components

Compliance Monitor holds every regulatory obligation against each client and licence type. Alerts are sent to the compliance officer 60, 30, and 7 days before each deadline. Automated Report Builder generates the required submission reports from live operational data.

Outcome

No regulatory deadline is missed in the 12 months following deployment. The compliance officer time spent on deadline tracking drops from 6 hours per week to a 15-minute daily dashboard review. The next MAS inspection finds full compliance, documented digitally and audit-ready.
