The core functional capabilities of unified customer profile include:

  • Easily access the financial information of your customer - Quickly see the financial holdings your customer has and if there are any red flags or opportunities for a sell-on.

  • Capture customers’ connections - View and manage your customers’ family ties and co-ownership of holdings, such as the main household and related individuals as account co-owners or beneficiaries of a financial holding.

  • Keep track of life events - Better serve your customers by keeping track of their key life events like birthdays, marital status, employment dates, and other events that might have an influence on their financial needs and asks.
