Automated Account Opening Solutions for Clearing Firms


Arius has been the chosen account opening platform and professional services partner of leading clearing firms across North America. Our flagship product, OpenAdvantage, enables clearing firms to deliver superior correspondent services, increase operational efficiency and reduce cost by creating a superior, personalized account opening experience.

The benefits of Arius OpenAdvantage include:

- Superior Account Open Correspondent Services - OpenAdvantage simplifies data collection and generates personalized sales kits. A hallmark of OpenAdvantage is the use of dynamic questionnaires to ease data gathering and using the questionnaire responses to automatically populate multiple forms - eliminating duplicate data entry. Clearing firms may choose to offer their clients configurable questionnaires, forms, business rules and workflow.

- Simplify Delivery of Tiered Service Levels - OpenAdvantage can simultaneously support tiered account opening service levels ranging from generic account opening process for smaller correspondents to a completely custom account opening process for larger correspondents.

- Support Multiple Correspondent Business Models - OpenAdvantage enables efficient account opening for multiple sales channels including client self-serve account opening (e.g. on-line brokerages) and front-office client representatives teams (e.g. retail brokerages).

- Single Platform for All Correspondents - OpenAdvantage enables clearing firms to deliver account opening services to all correspondents from a single platform.

- Comprehensive Compliance and Audit Reporting - OpenAdvantage can produce a range of comprehensive compliance and audit reports tailored to meet the needs of each client.

- Streamline Processes with Document Archive - OpenAdvantage can be extended with Arius BarcodeAdvantage, a document imaging and management solution that enables rapid processing, fast retrieval, and centralized management of client document archives.

- Open Architecture - OpenAdvantage delivers an open platform able to integrate with back-office applications including e-signature, document management and book of record systems.
