OneVest Launches Canada’s First Agentic Account Opening Solution for Wealth Management

TORONTO, September 23, 2026 — OneVest, a leading wealth management technology provider, today announced the launch of Canada’s first agentic account opening solution, delivering seamless, autonomous client onboarding for financial advisors, wealth management firms, and operations teams.

Canada’s Client Focused Reforms (CFRs) have raised regulatory standards to better protect investors, but executing these mandates across legacy systems has added significant operational friction. Industry benchmarks show Canadian financial advisors and operations teams spend up to 70% of their time on manual administration, data entry, and status tracking, leaving barely a quarter of their bandwidth for client engagement.

OneVest’s new AI agent directly solves this administrative burden by orchestrating the account onboarding lifecycle end-to-end, from initial client intake through to account funding, while ensuring wealth management professionals maintain full visibility and control.

"Account opening has long been one of the biggest operational bottlenecks for wealth management firms, pulling advisors away from serving their clients," said Amar Ahluwalia, CEO of OneVest. "We built this AI agent to eliminate that effort. By intelligently handling data intake, pre-checking applications, and coordinating status updates across custodial channels, our agent removes redundant manual work so advisors and ops teams can focus on delivering outstanding value to investors. It represents a major leap forward from basic digital forms to true, agentic workflow execution."

Seamless Onboarding Across Leading Canadian Custodians

OneVest’s agentic account opening solution connects natively with major Canadian custodial institutions, including National Bank Independent Network (NBIN), Aviso Wealth, and CI Investment Services (CIIS), with additional custodial integrations underway. By providing a single, standardized operational interface across custodians, wealth management firms can scale their operations seamlessly.

Key capabilities of OneVest's agentic account opening include:

• Zero-Re-Entry Intake: Automatically constructs account applications from existing firm documents, advisor notes, or CRM data without manual re-keying.

• Voice-Enabled Data Capture: Enables advisors and operations teams to dictate client account details directly into the platform.

• Pre-Submission Quality Assurance: Pre-checks applications for completeness and accuracy before submission to ensure smooth custodial processing.

• Automated Account Numbering & Custodial Tracking: Tracks and updates custodian account numbers automatically.

• Proactive Exception Handling: Instantly flags processing updates or missing details with clear, actionable remediation steps for advisor teams.

• Native Workplace Integration: Delivers real-time status notifications and collaboration alerts directly within Slack and Microsoft Teams.

Real-Time Governance and Oversight via OneVest Pulse

To ensure full operational transparency, every action taken by the AI agent is logged through OneVest Pulse, a centralized activity feed and governance log. OneVest Pulse provides operations teams, compliance officers, and advisors with an immutable audit trail and real-time visibility into every onboarding milestone, eliminating manual status checks while upholding institutional compliance standards.

Agentic account opening is available today for OneVest’s Canadian financial institution, wealth enterprise, and advisor clients.
