In order to comply with regulatory requirements, it is essential to conduct sanction checks on the client. This involves cross-referencing the client's information against global sanction lists to ensure they are not associated with any individuals or entities involved in financial crimes or illegal activities. If any matches are identified, appropriate actions must be taken as per the established procedures.

Conduct AML checks
Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks are crucial to verify the legitimacy of the client's funds and to prevent the bank from being used for money laundering activities. This task involves carrying out a thorough analysis of the client's financial transactions, reviewing source of funds, and assessing any potential red flags. Attention to detail and adherence to AML policies and procedures are essential in this task.

This task involves verifying the client's identity through official documents, assessing their financial profile, and evaluating their risk appetite. Adherence to KYC policies and attention to detail are crucial.

Prepare initial risk profile of client
Based on the information collected during the onboarding process, it is necessary to create an initial risk profile for the client. This profile will help determine the most suitable investment strategies and financial products for the client's needs and objectives. Consider the client's risk tolerance, investment experience, and financial goals when assessing their risk profile.

Arrange initial meeting between banker and client
In order to establish a strong relationship with the client, it is important to arrange an initial meeting between the banker and the client. This meeting will provide an opportunity to discuss the client's financial needs, investment preferences, and any questions or concerns they may have. It is crucial to prepare for the meeting in advance and ensure all necessary information is available to address the client's specific requirements.
Identification of client needs and objectives
During the meeting with the client, the banker should focus on identifying the client's specific needs and objectives. This task involves active listening, asking relevant questions, and probing deeper to understand the client's financial ambitions, risk appetite, and desired outcomes. It is important to create an open and supportive environment in which the client feels comfortable expressing their goals and expectations.
Prepare Client Onboarding Report
The Client Onboarding Report is a comprehensive document summarizing the client's information, risk profile, financial needs, and objectives. This report serves as a reference for future interactions with the client and guides the formulation of personalized investment strategies. The report should be clear, concise, and provide actionable insights based on the analysis conducted during the onboarding process.

Create client account in private banking system
To proceed with opening the client's account, you need to create their profile in the private banking system. Take care to enter the client's information accurately and ensure all necessary details are captured. Double-check the data entry to avoid any errors that may impact future transactions or communication with the client.
Send contractual documents to client
In this task, you will send the necessary contractual documents to the client for review and signing. Provide a clear explanation of the purpose and importance of each document, ensuring the client understands the terms and conditions. Make sure to securely transmit the documents and monitor their delivery to avoid delays in the onboarding process.
Once the client has received the contractual documents, they are expected to review, sign, and return them in a timely manner. Follow up with the client to ensure they have understood the contents of the documents and address any concerns they may have. Promptly process the signed documents to proceed with the account opening process.
