Financial services document workflows

Account-opening, KYC/AML, and suitability forms — filled from your records and cryptographically sealed.

Example account-opening form, auto-detected fields

The problem, and how AppliFlo solves it

The problem today

  • Client data is re-entered across account-opening, KYC/AML, and suitability questionnaire forms.
  • Manual processes make it hard to prove a complete, tamper-evident record for a custodial or AML review.
  • Template-heavy e-sign tools slow down every new advisory agreement or disclosure variant.

How AppliFlo solves it

  • Field auto-detection handles any account-opening or suitability form without per-document template work.
  • Auto-fill populates client and account details from your connected data source.
  • PAdES signing produces a tamper-evident record with a full audit trail.

In practice

A relationship manager uploads an account-opening packet alongside the suitability questionnaire. Client details fill automatically, the client signs the advisory agreement with a cryptographic PAdES signature, and the firm keeps a verifiable, time-stamped record of the whole ceremony for its own compliance file.

Overflowed — flagged — The answer is too long for the box. The advisor decides what goes here.

Skipped — No joint holder on this account, so it stays blank — and says so.

AppliFlo fills and routes account-opening and disclosure forms — it doesn't perform KYC/AML checks, provide investment advice, or certify regulatory compliance on your firm's behalf.

  • Fill client details from your book of business

    Account holder, address, and initial deposit fill in from a CSV export — sensitive fields like SSN are formatted, not left as raw text.

  • Roadmap: connect your custodian's data feed

    Sync account and holdings data directly from your custodian instead of exporting a CSV first.

  • Route the advisory agreement client-then-advisor

    Sequential routing sends the agreement to the client first, then the advisor for countersignature.

  • Reminders on outstanding custodial forms

    Automatic reminders keep account opening from stalling on a single unsigned form.
