Instantly! A fully digital account opening with NFC
Instantly! is a digital account that allows people to use their digital ID and NFC device to onboard and to get a virtual limited account anywhere, at anytime. What does limited mean? Virtual account + money top-up + send money + pay with Apple Pay and done!
This was my ENBD-joining task, it now became an existing functionality.
Here you can find both the concept and the journey.

Printagram, first portable printer. Failed project
