Industry Background & Challenges
Indonesia's digital wallet market is booming with players like GoPay,OVO,Dana,and LinkAja.OJK requires mandatory customer verification(KYC)for full-feature accounts.However,many users start registration but never complete verification because SMS OTPs get lost,selfie uploads fail,or they abandon the process.Traditional manual verification calls are slow(100-150 calls/agent/day)and expensive.This creates high drop-off rates and slows user acquisition.
The Cost of the Old Way
A mid-sized Indonesian fintech with 5 million registered users has a 40%verification completion rate.The remaining 60%are stuck in partial KYC.Manual verification team of 50 agents costs$15,000/month,handling only 7,500 calls daily.Each unfinished KYC means wasted ad spend and lost transaction potential.
The New Solution: Instadesk VoiceBot for KYC

· Batch outbound calls–10,000+calls/day,10x human capacity
· Smart verification flow–Guides user step-by-step: identity,upload document,take selfie
· Instant status update–Completes KYC in system immediately after successful call
· Fallback to SMS–Sends link for document upload if user is not ready on call
