The process, which the bank says only takes 15 minutes, bypasses the usual paperwork as clients can upload identity verification documents and use electronic signatures.
This is standard practice in the UK or US but a big move in Cayman, where online banking has been rolled out slowly. For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
