About This Automation

Client onboarding and KYC verification confirms a new client's identity, screens for financial risk, and sets up their account records. Handling these checks by hand is slow and prone to error, often delaying when an account can be opened.

An automated version verifies identity, screens for risk, and files documents as soon as they arrive, flagging only exceptions for human review. This shortens onboarding time and gives compliance teams a consistent, audit-ready record.

Key features
Creates client records automatically from signed engagement letters
Requests and tracks required KYC documents without manual follow-up
Runs identity verification and AML screening on submitted documents
Flags only high-risk or incomplete cases for human review
Files cleared documents into the client's record automatically
Notifies compliance and sends the welcome packet once approved

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Engagement Letter Signedtrigger

The signed engagement letter starts the onboarding workflow automatically.

2. Create Client Record

Client details from the signed document are pulled into a new record with no manual re-entry.

3. Request KYC Documents

A document request email with a secure upload link is sent to the client automatically.

4. Identity & AML Screening Runs Checks

The automation submits the client's ID and runs the AML/PEP screen as soon as documents are uploaded.

5. Compliance Manual Review

Any flagged or unclear result routes to a compliance officer for manual review before the file proceeds.

6. File Verified Documents

Cleared documents and screening results are filed into the client's folder automatically.

7. Notify Compliance Team

Compliance is notified that the file is ready for final sign-off.

8. Send Welcome Packet

Once signed off, the client automatically receives their welcome packet and account access details.
