The Onboarding and Know Your Customer data models have several purposes. However, in this example, we discuss a use case to onboard a business client.
Alpine Group was incorporated in 2020, with Bob as CEO and John as CFO. Tom is a financial manager who reports directly to John in the company. Tom visits Cumulus Bank to open a checking account for the company. Alpine Group has no prior relationship with the bank. The relationship manager, Tim, classifies the company as a medium-risk client and plans to conduct thorough due diligence as part of the onboarding process.
Tim collects the corporate landscape information of Alpine Group by using the Onboarding and Know Your Customer data models that help him capture details, such as beneficial owners, controlling parties, and business structure. By using Party Profile object, Tim initiates Know Your Business (KYB) procedures for the business entity and conducts the Know Your Customer (KYC) process for all the owners who have more than the specified percentage stake in the company along with controlling parties such as CEO and CFO, and completes the onboarding process.
If one of the beneficial owners of Alpine Group is a beneficial owner of some other company that the bank is onboarding, Tim can choose to reuse the existing Party Profile record of the beneficial owner associated with Alpine group for screening purposes.
Thus, the Onboarding and Know Your Customer data models help Cumulus Bank to drive efficiency and compliance in onboarding tasks and business processes.
