FINANCIAL
Industry

Client-first banking and wealth, powered by AI.

We implement Financial Services Cloud across retail banking, wealth management, insurance and commercial lending — with Data Cloud, MuleSoft and Agentforce layered on top.

(01) What it is

What Salesforce offers on Financial Services.

Financial Services Cloud is Salesforce's industry CRM for retail and commercial banking, wealth and asset management, insurance and mortgage. It provides prebuilt data models for households and relationships, client onboarding and KYC flows, advisor and banker desktops, policy and claims lifecycle, and integrates with Data Cloud, MuleSoft and Agentforce for banking-specific AI use cases.

(02) Why now

What we hear from Financial Services leaders.

  • 01KYC, AML and client onboarding still involve manual handoffs and 3-week cycle times.
  • 02Legacy core banking and policy admin systems block a real client 360 and slow every regulatory response.
  • 03Advisors and bankers want a copilot grounded in households, positions and interactions — not another tab.

(03) Key challenges

Where Financial Services programmes get stuck.

01

Legacy core banking and policy admin systems make a unified client 360 hard to achieve.

02

KYC, AML and onboarding involve manual handoffs and long cycle times.

03

Advisor and banker desktops are cluttered with disconnected tools.

04

Regulatory, residency and audit obligations block AI adoption without Shield and clear governance.

(04) Automation & AI areas we deliver

Where we automate Financial Services — end to end.

Every engagement targets a specific set of automation and AI plays, scoped so value shows up in weeks — not quarters.

01

Digital onboarding & KYC

Orchestrated intake, document capture, KYC/AML checks and downstream provisioning.

02

Advisor & banker copilots

Einstein Copilot and Agentforce grounded on households, positions and interactions.

03

Claims & servicing automation

Straight-through processing with intelligent document processing.

04

Personalised next-best-action

Data Cloud signals driving cross-sell and retention plays across channels.

(05b) Challenges & Solutions

What blocks Financial Services programmes — and how we clear it.

Challenge 01

Onboarding drags across KYC, credit and product teams, and clients drop out mid-application.

How we solve it

Single FSC intake with document capture, automated AML/KYC checks and orchestrated exception routing — one status view for client and banker.

Challenge 02

Advisor and banker data sits in core banking, custody and policy admin; nobody sees the household.

How we solve it

Data Cloud identity resolution into a householded relationship console with next-best-action on live signals.

Challenge 03

Every AI or service change triggers a supervisory conversation before it can ship.

How we solve it

Controls built in from design: audit trail on every DML, Shield encryption, retained interaction records and human approval on regulated decisions.

(05c) Regulation & Compliance

Obligations we design into every Financial Services build.

Industry-specific, region-specific and cross-cutting rules — addressed in the architecture, not bolted on at go-live.
