Partner-bank requests: common questions

01Can agents handle email and PDF bank requests?
Yes, through approved email and document access. The agent can extract the questions, account references, deadline, and requested evidence, then prepare a response using your procedures.
02What about secure links, bank portals, or MFA?
Access must use an authorized integration and the bank’s permitted process. A portal step or MFA challenge may require human participation. Confirm those boundaries before automating the request.
03Can this support hold-harmless and return-of-funds requests?
An agent can gather the records, apply your investigation checklist, and draft the response. Your authorized team reviews legal commitments and funds actions before anything is sent or executed.
04Does a draft get sent to the bank automatically?
You decide which actions are available. Start with draft-only responses and require explicit approval before external correspondence or payment instructions proceed.
05What if the request is missing information?
The agent can identify the missing records or ambiguous questions and prepare a follow-up for review. It should escalate rather than infer an unsupported answer.
06What is a good first use case?
A recurring RFI with a defined checklist and known data sources is a practical starting point. Use anonymized examples to validate the packet, draft, and approval flow.
