Jump, a leading provider of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, has announced AI-assisted real-time account opening. The new feature enables financial advisors to complete account opening during client meetings. The workflow enables advisors to carry a client conversation through to a completed application. It also allows for validation and electronic signatures to be done in the same meeting.
In the past, you had to go through several separate systems and manual steps to open an account. Advisors and operations teams often went back and forth between forms, CRM records, custodian portals and signature tools. Therefore, teams had to enter the same information multiple times. they also chased up missing details, taking extra time to do so. Jump now connects these steps into a single digital experience.” The platform reduces manual work and helps companies identify missing data earlier.
This approach also helps to reduce the risk of NIGO submissions. This means advisors can spend more time with clients rather than on administrative processes. The real-time account opening reinforces Jump’s overall approach to client onboarding. It uses AI to make it faster and more connected.
“Leading advisors are looking for ways to elevate the client experience,” said Parker Ence, chief executive officer and co-founder of Jump. “Jump allows advisors to stay focused on the conversation while moving the onboarding process forward in real time, creating a more seamless experience for both the advisor and the client.”
Jump Expands AI-Assisted Account Opening
Jump began its AI-assisted account opening in June, using client data from integrated systems to populate fields that advisors then review. Jump has now brought this capability into a real-time workflow. The new system pulls data from meetings, documents, forms and customer relationship management (CRM) data simultaneously. Missing information is picked up by Jump during client conversation. The platform then takes that information and populates the correct fields.
“This allows the advisor and client to review the completed application together. Then they can send it digitally to sign before the meeting is up. Thus, AI-supported account opening can help to reduce the time taken for client onboarding. It also reduces the need to enter the same data multiple times in different systems. The technology handles a frequent problem for financial services companies. Client information is often spread across multiple platforms and communication channels.
Jump stitches these sources into a connected workflow. That means advisers can spend less time on administration. This approach also allows for a more consistent client experience. Jump handles key onboarding activities so advisors can keep their conversations going.
“Our whole model is built around getting advisors more time in front of clients and less time on process,” said Marc Butler, Jump customer and Osaic advisor with Anthony Petsis & Associates. “When the administrative side of starting a relationship gets simpler, that time goes straight back into planning, which is the part that actually changes outcomes for people.”
Jump Supports Schwab and Fidelity Workflows
Jump’s real-time account opening experience supports two of the industry’s largest custodians. These include Schwab Advisor Services™ and Fidelity. Dispatch facilitates the Fidelity workflow. Meanwhile, Jump has expanded its integration with Schwab Advisor Center©. Jump released its integration with Schwab Advisor Center© ‘s fully digital account onboarding earlier this summer.
The company has already expanded the integration with additional capabilities. Advisors can initiate transfers of assets directly from within Jump. They can also set up profiles for ACH bank transfers. In addition, the platform supports custom forms used by individual firms. All these activities can begin within Jump. The platform brings the required materials together in one digital envelope.
Clients can then review the information and complete eAuthorization. This approach helps advisors keep the onboarding process within a single digital experience. Jump has also introduced a separate Docusign-based option. The new option expands support for Schwab and Fidelity workflows across more account types and forms. Together, these capabilities position Jump as the first AI platform for financial advisors to support real-time account opening across either Schwab or Fidelity.
The expansion also reflects the growing role of financial advisor technology. Firms increasingly seek tools that improve efficiency without reducing client engagement. By connecting account opening with advisor workflows, Jump aims to reduce operational friction. At the same time, advisors can remain focused on client relationships.
Jump Targets Faster Account Opening
“We launched AI-assisted account opening earlier this year because advisors needed a better way to turn the information they already collect into action,” said Tim Chaves, president and chief operating officer of Jump. “The reality is that once a firm reaches any level of scale, it’s rarely working with a single custodian, and client data is scattered across meetings, emails, CRM records and forms. Onboarding only gets fast when all of that is united in one place. That’s what Jump does. By extending real-time account opening across Schwab and Fidelity, we’re helping advisors spend less time on manual work while delivering a faster, more connected experience from the initial conversation through onboarding and ongoing service.”
According to research from Dispatch, opening an account can require more than 150 data points. The process can also involve two to three hours of manual work. Jump estimates that its real-time workflow can reduce this work to roughly 10 minutes in one sitting. The company also estimates that the workflow can return approximately 65 hours of operational capacity annually. This estimate applies to a practice opening 30 accounts per year. However, actual results will vary based on a firm’s workflows, account types, and implementation.
To summarize, Jump’s newest development underscores its commitment to AI-assisted account opening. The company is delivering real-time capabilities to key custodian workflows. The technology is designed to help advisors get more onboarding work done during client meetings. It is also intended to reduce manual labor and to provide a better client experience. As financial advisory firms increasingly adopt AI, connected onboarding can play an important role. Jump’s enhanced functionality integrates account opening, client information and electronic signatures into a single workflow.
