Feathery, an AI data intake and workflow automation platform for wealth management, has launched the industry's first one-click Schwab account opening solution via API. This integration allows advisory firms to create Schwab accounts directly from their onboarding workflows, eliminating manual data entry and reducing NIGO (Not-In-Good-Order) errors.

Why it matters

Account opening is one of the most time-consuming processes for wealth management firms, often requiring advisors and operations teams to enter the same client information across multiple systems. Feathery's new Schwab API integration aims to streamline this process, helping firms accelerate onboarding and improve data accuracy.

The details

Using Schwab's Digital Account Onboarding APIs, Feathery's platform enables firms to validate client data, generate onboarding envelopes, and submit account opening requests to Schwab within a single workflow. This integration allows advisors and operations teams to complete Schwab account opening directly from their existing onboarding processes, eliminating duplicate data entry and reducing NIGO errors that can delay account funding.
