How banks and credit unions hand off account openings, loan approvals and estate cases to the back office
In most banks the front door got faster and the back office did not: beneficial owner certifications arrive by email, loan approvals travel in threads, and an executor sends the death certificate to three departments. Callvu runs the handoff end to end, from the branch, the call or the app to the core: it prefills what the bank already knows, chases each party for only what they owe, routes decisions to the right person in the Decision Desk and writes the result back once.
The problem today
The front door got faster.The back office did not.
KYC and CDD refresh
The refresh list is a spreadsheet, and the customers who matter most are the hardest to reach.
Debit card and EFT disputes
The claim was taken on a Thursday call, the written confirmation was requested, and nobody noticed the tenth business day pass.
Business account opening
The entity's file is assembled from six emails, and the beneficial owner certification is the last one to arrive.
How Callvu runs it
Twelve banking processes,from the request to the system of record.
Twelve banking handoffs run end to end: prefill, classify, chase and verify, decide, write back. Each page names the parties, the front door, what the back office receives and the decisions that go to the Decision Desk.

The rules and the clocks
The rules and clocksthe handoff runs under.
Every handoff runs against the regulation and the deadlines that apply to it. Each rule and each clock links to the process pages where it is enforced.
By role
What changesfor each team.
Compliance
The handoff is where the record used to break: the resolution in an inbox, the approval in an email, the BSA review done after the account was open. With Callvu the beneficial ownership certification is complete before the account is created, a screening hit goes to the BSA team before anything moves, and a power of attorney is accepted or refused inside the seven business days the Uniform Power of Attorney Act gives. Every decision carries who decided, what they saw and when.
- CIP and CDD rule records kept five years after the account closes, written from the case.
- Regulation O insider checks run inside loan approval routing, with board approval where required.
- Every Decision Desk choice limited to the outcomes the policy allows, in the Audit Trace.
Operations
Each request becomes a unit of work the moment it lands, with a work type, a skill, an effort and a due date, so deposit operations and credit administration see the week from minute zero. Signers, trustees, appraisers and title companies deliver through their own links, and nobody re-keys the result. An approver who has not acted is nudged on the policy's schedule, and the request escalates before the service level slips.
- Business accounts opened with every signer's ID and the resolution collected once, not over email.
- Overdue KYC refreshes started on the due date and tracked until closed.
- Loan approvals routed by authority limit, with conditions carried to closing as structured items.
IT
Callvu connects to the core, the BSA system, the loan origination system and the signature card system by API and webhook, and they stay the systems of record. The core and the signature system are written in one step from the same verified case, so they cannot disagree. Outside reviewers open the case from a link, with no new account in your directory.
- The BSA system keeps ownership and risk ratings; Callvu writes the review date and the reviewer.
- One write-back per decision, with the full approval history attached.
- Starts from a web form, a branch screen, a call or an AI agent over MCP, with the same process behind each.
Customer experience
A business owner, a new signer or an executor is asked once for what they owe, on their own phone, and sees what happens next. A death certificate is captured on one case and used for every account. A trustee gets a reference, the request with its deadline and the outcome, without calling the branch.
- Each signer receives a link and signs on their phone; nobody comes into the branch twice.
- The customer confirms a KYC refresh from a prefilled profile, marking only what changed.
- A payable-on-death account is paid on proof of death and verified identity, by rule.

Questions
What banking buyers ask,answered plainly.
How do we collect beneficial ownership certifications and signer IDs without doing it over email?
Each owner and signer receives their own link, uploads identification, accepts the resolution and signs on their phone. The account cannot be created until the certification under the CDD rule is complete and signed, and a government list hit goes to the BSA team in the Decision Desk with only the allowed outcomes. The owners and the risk rating are written to the BSA system, which stays the system of record.
How do we clear overdue KYC and CDD refreshes without a relationship manager chasing customers?
Callvu starts each case on the due date set by the risk rating, prefills the profile the bank holds, and asks the customer to confirm each item or mark what changed. A screening hit, an ownership change or activity outside the profile goes to the BSA analyst in the Decision Desk. A low-risk refresh with no change can close without the BSA team where the policy allows it.
How do we route loan approvals by lending authority without email chains?
The routing table sends each approval to the person whose authority covers the amount and the exceptions, and the Decision Desk offers only the outcomes their authority allows. Conditions are entered as structured items and carried to the loan system for closing to check. Every request is checked against the insider list, and a Regulation O loan above the threshold routes to the board.
How should a bank handle a power of attorney presented at a branch inside the seven business day rule?
The branch captures the instrument and the agent's identification on the spot. Legal review sees the classified document, the verification and the statutory clock in the Decision Desk, with only the statute's outcomes: accept, request a certification, translation or opinion of counsel, or refuse on a listed ground. The reviewer is nudged as the seven business days run down.
How do we handle a deceased customer's accounts so the family is not asked for the same documents by three departments?
One report opens one case, Callvu finds every account, loan and service for the customer, and the death certificate is captured once and used for every account. Cards and standing orders are stopped the day the death is reported, and a payable-on-death account is paid by rule on proof of death and verified identity. Payouts above the limit, competing claims and foreign letters go to legal review in the Decision Desk.

How do we track appraisal, environmental and title reports on a commercial real estate loan in one place?
Each report is ordered through the channel the policy requires, delivered to the case by link, and reviewed by a qualified reviewer independent of loan production in the Decision Desk, with accept, accept with conditions, or reject and reorder as the only outcomes. Closing cannot proceed while a required report is not yet accepted or a condition is not cleared.
