Financial Services Cloud: Purpose-Built CRM for FinancialServices

The only Salesforce solution designed specifically for wealth management, banking, and insurance. Manage household relationships, track referrals, aggregate financial accounts, and maintain compliance—all in one platform.

Financial Services Cloud (FSC) is Salesforce's industry-specific CRM platform built for advisors, bankers, agents, and relationship managers. Unlike generic CRM systems, FSC understands the unique needs of financial services: complex household structures, regulatory compliance, referral networks, and the need for a complete client financial picture.

The Challenge

Why Financial Services Needs a Purpose-Built CRM

Generic CRM systems weren't designed for financial services. They don't understand households, can't model complex family relationships, lack financial account objects, and don't provide the compliance features required by SEC, FINRA, and other regulators. 

Common Pain Points:

  • Fragmented Client Data: Information scattered across custodians, core systems, andspreadsheets
  • No Household View: Can't see complete family relationships and financial pictures
  • Compliance Gaps: Missing audit trails, communication archiving, and regulatory reporting
  • Poor Advisor Adoption: Clunky interfaces that slow advisors down instead of helping them
  • Integration Nightmares: Can't connect with custodians, portfolio management systems, orfinancial planning tools
