Managing financial accounts

Use NexJ CRM to view available and user-tracked financial accounts, holdings, and transaction data for contacts, clients, companies, and households from multiple financial systems.

Financial data can originate from one or more back office systems or you can enter data directly for tracked assets.

NexJ CRM can integrate with your back-office account management applications to reflect current information. Update data at regular intervals using a batch process. For example, integrate with your back-office book of record system by synchronizing nightly.
