UC41: Bank Account Management & Signatories

The Problem

Large organizations maintain 50 to 200+ bank accounts across entities, geographies, and currencies. Managing account details, signatory records, Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, and regulatory filings is tedious and error-prone. Missing signatory resolution updates or lapsed KYC certifications creates compliance risk and can trigger account freezes. Currently, this information is scattered across spreadsheets, emails, and offline documents with no single source of truth. Signatory changes (resignations, role transitions) are often not timely updated at banks.

What the Agent Does

Ingests and consolidates bank account data:
Bank account registry: Account number, bank, currency, balance, relationship manager
Signatory records: Authorized signatories by account, signatory role (approver, preparer, verifier), signatory title and authority limits
KYC certification data: KYC certification date, expiration date, certification body, regulatory requirements by jurisdiction
Beneficial ownership information: UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner) and control person certifications per FinCEN or FATCA
Account fee contracts: Negotiated fee schedules, contract renewal dates
Tracks signatory lifecycle events:
Identifies signatories by employee: Creates alert when employee leaves company or changes role
Detects missing signatory resolutions: Identifies accounts where signatory is departed employee (per HRIS)
Drafts signatory resolutions: "Authorized signatories as of [date]: John Smith (departed 2025-01-15, REMOVE), Jane Doe (current, RETAIN), Tom Adams (newly hired 2025-02-01, ADD)."
Generates Board/Management approval requests for signatory changes
Monitors KYC and regulatory expiration dates:
Tracks certification expiration: "KYC certification on US Bank Account #123 expires 2025-04-30 (60 days). Action: Renew before expiration to avoid account restriction."
Identifies regulatory filing requirements: Annual audited financial statements for KYC, beneficial ownership certifications per FATCA/CRS
Generates checklist for compliance team: "Q2 2025 regulatory requirements: (1) KYC recertification for 12 accounts, (2) UBO certification for 3 entities, (3) FATCA W-8BEN forms for 2 foreign accounts"
Aggregates account metrics:
Total account count by bank, geography, currency
Average balance by account type (operating, payroll, escrow, collateral)
Fee analysis: Total fees vs. transaction volume by bank (input for bank fee audits)
Enables account maintenance workflow:
Tracks action items: Pending signatory resolutions, KYC renewals, regulatory filings
Sends reminders 60/30/15 days before expiration
Provides portal or dashboard view for treasury team to confirm completion

Data Requirements

Data Sources:

Bank account registry , Account number, bank, currency, relationship manager
HRIS employee data , Current employee roster, departure dates, role/title changes
Signatory documents , Board resolutions, management approvals, Bank certification of authority
KYC/regulatory documentation , KYC certifications, beneficial ownership forms, FATCA W-8BEN, audit certificates
Bank correspondence , New account confirmation, fee schedules, regulatory requirement notifications

Data Classification:

Internal Structured: Bank account registry, employee roster, signatory resolutions, KYC certification data
Internal Unstructured: Signatory documents (scanned PDFs), bank correspondence, internal memos
Sensitive/Regulated: Bank account numbers and balances (confidential), signatory authorization (confidential), beneficial ownership and UBO information (highly confidential per FinCEN/FATCA)

Data Quality Requirements:

Timeliness: HRIS data refreshed daily; bank account registry updated within 5 business days of new account opening or closure; KYC data current
Completeness: All active bank accounts in registry; all authorized signatories listed with role and authority limits; KYC certification dates for all required accounts
Accuracy: Account balances match bank statements; signatory titles match HRIS records; KYC expiration dates match certification documents

Integration Complexity: Medium , Requires integration with HRIS (Workday, ADP) to identify employee changes, document management system for signatory resolutions/KYC docs, and bank account data feeds. Process logic is straightforward; primary complexity is document classification and expiration date tracking.
