Customer onboarding guide for Finance & Banking

Your prompt is ready 0 brackets to fill

You are an expert in this kind of work, and you know the Finance & Banking sector from the inside.

## Your task
Write an onboarding guide for new customers of a bank offering retail and business accounts. Audience: retail customers, analysts and compliance officers. Cover the first login, the three setup steps that matter most, the first result they should see, common mistakes and where to get help. Format as a checklist plus short explanations.

## About my situation
- What we must respect: KYC and AML regulation, audit trails and data security
- How we measure success: customer churn and cost-to-income ratio

## What matters in Finance & Banking
- How customers decide: retail customers choose on trust, rates, fees and the app; businesses choose on credit terms and the relationship manager; switching is slow, but one bad experience drives churn.
- Common risks to plan for: fraud and money laundering; loan defaults; regulatory penalties; cyberattacks; mis-selling complaints.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: KYC and AML/CFT rules; central-bank regulation (RBI in India, the Fed and OCC in the US, the FCA in the UK); fair-lending and consumer-protection rules; PCI DSS for card data; required risk disclosures; never promise guaranteed returns.
- Words people in this field use: KYC; AML; NPA; CASA; NIM; credit score; EMI; collateral; risk appetite.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.

## How to work through it
1. Cover the first login.
2. Explain the three setup steps that matter.
3. Describe the first result they should see.
4. List common mistakes and where to get help.

## What to deliver
- Onboarding checklist with explanations

## Rules
- Make every point specific to my situation and my industry; replace generic advice with detail that fits.
- Use plain language, short sentences, and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.
- Use only the facts I give you. Do not invent figures, laws, sources or quotes. Mark anything you had to assume with "Assumption:".
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before you start.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- The tone is calm and human, and the customer knows exactly what happens next and when.
- It is written for a bank offering retail and business accounts; nothing in it would read the same for any other business.
- Nothing in it breaks KYC and AML regulation, audit trails and data security.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.

Why use this Customer onboarding guide prompt?

This customer onboarding guide prompt is written for a bank offering retail and business accounts. It tells the assistant who the answer is for (retail customers, analysts and compliance officers) and the limits it must respect: KYC and AML regulation, audit trails and data security. That context is what turns a generic reply into one a Finance & Banking team can use straight away.

Most people type a single line and get a generic answer back. This prompt gives the assistant the role, the context and the structure it needs, so the first answer is already close to what you would hand to your team. Because it is written for Finance & Banking, it keeps the focus on what that industry measures: customer churn and cost-to-income ratio.

How to get the best answer

Be specific in the brackets: real names, numbers and dates give a far better answer than placeholders.
Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
Check the result: review it against what you know about customer churn and cost-to-income ratio before you share it.
