Streamline the way you manage your clients' funds
How we could help your business
Client Monies' Service (CMS) is a secure, easy-to-use, virtual account system that helps you manage third-party funds.
The service allows you to identify and manage money belonging to each client without the need for separate bank accounts. It also lets you transfer funds electronically to and from your clients’ accounts.
CMS client accounts are:
- Separate deposit accounts held by us
- Identified by a client reference number
- Instant access - you can move money freely without providing any notice
CMS lets your administrators control user access, tailored to the needs of your organisation. Authorised staff access the system using their unique User ID and pin/password.
Easy client management
Self-serve all aspects of your client account management, with accounts opened and closed instantly.
Real-time reporting
Easy access to reports on transactions, balances, and interest, helping you track everything in real-time. Statements and certificates of interest are available.
Keeps you compliant
Clients' Monies Service helps you comply with professional obligations and provides a full electronic audit trail of transactions.
Safe and secure
Nominated administrators control access to the portal by allocating roles and privileges to individual members of your team.
Automatically calculate and pay interest to clients
Define the interest allocation rules to reduce your own admin.
For clients who:
- need to manage and service funds on behalf of clients
- have the need to regularly open and close client accounts
- will use the service to manage a minimum of 25 client accounts, or balance of £300,000
Considerations
Eligibility is subject to a pre-account opening check.
If you're managing fewer than 25 client accounts, Client Deposit Manager may be more suitable for your business.
