Contribution & Withdrawal Processing

Q: Does someone still need to review each request before money moves?

Yes, the client still reviews and signs the authorization form; the automation prepares that step and removes manual lookups around it.

Q: Will this work with the CRM and accounting tools our firm already uses?

The automation is built around common CRM, e-signature, banking, and accounting tools, so it typically fits existing setups without replacing them.

Q: What happens to existing client and account records once this is in place?

Existing records stay in place and are read directly from your systems, so no data migration or re-entry is needed.

Q: How are unusual or flagged requests handled?

Requests that fail identity or bank verification are held for manual review instead of moving forward automatically.

About This Automation

Contribution and withdrawal processing moves client money in or out of an account based on a signed request. Manual handling strings together identity checks, bank verification, calculations, and signature chasing, which slows turnaround and invites errors.

The automated version verifies the client and bank account, calculates the exact amount, and routes the authorization for signature without manual lookups. It submits the transaction, reconciles the ledger, and notifies the client once everything is complete.

Key features:

Verify client identity and bank account ownership automatically before any transfer is authorized

Calculate contribution or withdrawal amounts with limits and fees applied consistently

Generate and route authorization forms for signature without manual drafting

Submit approved transactions to the custodian record without re-entry

Reconcile completed transactions against the client ledger automatically

Notify clients of completion without a separate manual email

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Request Receivedtrigger

A new contribution or withdrawal request lands in the shared inbox and starts the workflow automatically.

2. Verify Identity & Bank Details

The Request Intake & Verification checks the client record and confirms bank ownership.

3. Route Unverified Requests For Review

Any request that fails verification is flagged and routed to Client Services for manual review before it can proceed.

4. Calculate Amount & Draft Form

The Transaction Prep calculates the contribution or withdrawal amount and generates the authorization form.

5. Collect Client E-Signature

The authorization form is sent and the client completes the signature before the transaction moves forward.

6. Submit & Reconcile Transaction

The Submission & Reconciliation logs the approved transaction and reconciles the entry.

7. Send Completion Confirmation

A confirmation email is sent once the custodian confirms the transaction is complete.
