Discovery

How a client hears about a shortfall today

A capital call notice reaches a client in two places.

Email

Buried in an inbox and bundled with other notices.


Desktop platform

The answer sits several screens deep. Most clients only reach it after a financial advisor points them there.

Insight lorem ipsum

Lorem ipsum

01

Make the funds check proactive

Surface each account's projected balance against the upcoming call so a shortfall shows up before the due date rather than after.

02

Guide funding in one place

When a shortfall exists, walk the client through a trade or transfer to cover it with the right account already selected.

Adoption stragety

03

Start with a controlled pilot

The manual flow today is in place and functioning. A flawed rollout could erode both advisor and client trust.

Constraints lorem ipsum

Description

Constraint

The payment screen is not ours

We wanted the whole thing in one app. But the payment screen is owned by the commercial banking business, and pre-filling an amount and an account number carries compliance risk. Our deep link could take a client there. It could not take the answer with them.

Solution

Copy the exact amount in one tap, then redirect. The client arrives at the payment screen with the answer already in hand.

Problem

The money does not arrive when the client acts
