Collect accurate client details automatically

AUTOMATED APPLICATIONS

Instantly fill out account applications

Zocks fills out account applications for new and existing clients using everything it already knows about them. Instead of manually entering information field by field, your team can review completed applications and move directly to the next step.

NIGO PREVENTION

Catch errors before applications come back NIGO

Zocks flags missing or conflicting information, then checks the full application against the custodian's requirements before it's submitted. Now you can fix issues before your client signs, reduce NIGOs, and avoid the follow-up calls and re-signs that slow onboarding down.

FAQs

What is Zocks Account Opening?

Zocks Account Opening automates much of the manual work involved in opening client accounts. It collects client details from meetings, emails, and connected systems, fills out account applications instantly, and checks them for errors before you submit. It works for both new and existing clients.

Where does Zocks get the information for account applications?

From your client meetings and emails, plus your connected CRM and financial planning tools. Its Client Intake template helps advisors collect the information required for account opening during the first client meeting. For existing clients, it uses everything it has already captured and structured in the client profile.

How does Zocks reduce NIGOs?

Zocks flags missing or conflicting information and checks the application against the custodian's requirements before submission, starting with Schwab. You fix issues before your client signs, so fewer applications come back not in good order.

Which custodians does Zocks work with for account opening?

Schwab is the first custodian to accept applications directly from Zocks, through its integrated digital onboarding workflow, and more custodians are coming.

How does Zocks work with Schwab's digital onboarding workflow?

Zocks completes the fields in Schwab Advisor Center's digital onboarding workflow and checks the application against Schwab's requirements. You review it and submit it. The envelope flows through Schwab Advisor Center, and your client electronically authorizes using their Schwab Alliance credentials. Zocks shows you when it's signed and the account is open. See the Schwab integration page for supported account types.

Can I open accounts for existing clients?

Yes. Zocks starts from everything it already knows about the client, so opening a new IRA or rollover account for an existing client takes a quick review.

Does Zocks submit applications without my approval?

No. Zocks prepares and checks each application, and nothing goes to the custodian until you review and submit it.

Does Zocks record my client meetings?

No. Clients often don't want private conversations recorded, so Zocks captures the details it needs without recording audio or video. Zocks also knows who said what in every conversation, even when several people are in the meeting, so details like each spouse's income and employer are tied to the right person. That accuracy carries into everything Zocks does next, from your CRM to the account application, so each one starts with the right information.

Which Zocks plans include Account Opening?

Zocks Account Opening is available on the Zocks Ultimate plan.
