compare it with the total onboarding costs for the same client?

White Paper : Why are Central Banks Interested in Digital Currency?

With a decrease in the use of cash, the objectives pursued by the Central Banks with an electronic and universally accessible form of money are to anticipate the disappearance of cash, create an efficient and cheap means of payment, and strengthen regulatory controls.
