Account analysis
Turn operational chaos into customer trust
Imagine a world where corporate treasurers trust their banks completely. Where pricing is transparent, costs are predictable, and banks helps clients achieve their goals. Where relationship managers respond to client needs in hours, not weeks. Where operations teams spend their time building relationships instead of chasing down billing errors. That is account analysis reimagined.
The problem
Account analysis was created for a world we no longer live in
Modern banking runs on instant payments, same-day execution, and real-time transparency. Account analysis runs on outdated processes, disconnected systems, and legacy architecture – leading to overwhelming complexities. Operations teams face “five days of chaos” generating monthly statements. Revenue leaks from every disconnected step of the process and client trust erodes with every dispute.
The result: What’s promised isn’t what’s executed, what’s executed isn’t what’s billed, and what’s billed arrives too late.

Two example interactions highlight real-world use cases:
Eligibility Confirmation via Customer Service (bottom left):
A chat interaction shows a customer named Eric asking, “How do I qualify for gold tier?” The automated response reads: “Congratulations Eric! Because you have direct deposit for your savings account and you have a mortgage with us, you already meet gold tier status.” This demonstrates how service teams can instantly reference verified agreement criteria, eliminating manual interpretation and enabling faster, more accurate service resolution.
Contextual Offer Logic (top right):
A promotional banner reads: “New exclusive banking offer! 1.75% bonus interest when you add a joint account.” This illustrates how verified agreement context supports tailored marketing logic. Instead of relying on broad segmentation, offer eligibility is driven by real agreement data across products and customer relationships.
Our solution
Account analysis reimagined
“Five days of chaos” isn’t the cost of doing business. It’s the cost of disconnected systems and legacy architecture. Our platform unifies product, pricing, deals, execution, and billing into one system to create a 360 degree view of the customer. Chaos becomes clarity. Leakage becomes control. Account analysis becomes a driver of trust.
The impact
Achieve relationship primacy
When trust replaces friction, client relationships become client partnerships. Banks that deliver trusted pricing, predictable costs, and innovative products become indispensable while their competitors become dispensable. Clients consolidate around banks they can depend on. Relationship primacy becomes reality.
The mindset shift
Account Analysis doesn't start with the bill
Reimagining account analysis starts with a mindset shift: from “how do we bill faster” to “how do we empower with the clarity, transparency, and agility to build customer trust”

Deliver products and solutions that drive client success
This diagram illustrates Zafin’s architecture for product and service agreement data management, organized into three conceptual layers.
Foundation layer (Bottom)
Unified, verified system-of-reference for product and service agreements and related data.
Depicted as a stack of three horizontal layers labeled “Agreements,” “Arrangements,” and “Entitlements.”
Connection layer (Middle)
Standardize integration with real-time APIs.
A grouping labeled “Real-time APIs” connects the foundational agreement data to upstream systems.
Channel layer (Top)
Connect systems of engagement and record. Four curved branches extend upward to icons representing different systems – pricing engines, analytics tools, customer service platforms, and digital channels.

Frequently asked questions
How is Zafin different from traditional Account Analysis or treasury billing?
Where can a bank start with Zafin’s Account Analysis solution?
Banks can start where the pressure is greatest. Some begin with Account Analysis billing and revenue leakage. Others start with deal management, product and pricing governance, or portfolio monitoring. Zafin’s Infinity model lets banks modernize progressively, then expand across the commercial revenue lifecycle over time.
Does Zafin’s Account Analysis solution include product catalog and pricing governance?
How does Zafin’s Account Analysis solution help treasury sales and relationship teams?
Zafin gives treasury sales and relationship teams visibility into pricing, commitments, profitability, approval status, balances, service usage, exceptions and billing impact before a deal is finalized. This gives teams a clearer picture of client health, helps them spot risk earlier, and prepare more relevant renewal conversations. Teams can model scenarios, stay within approved guardrails, route exceptions, track commitments, and identify opportunities to increase stickiness and grow the relationship.
How does Zafin help operations teams explain a client bill?
Zafin links billed charges back to the pricing rule, agreement, event, and approved terms that created them. This gives operations, and relationship teams a clearer view of why a charge appeared, what terms were applied, and where to look when a client has a billing question or a dispute.
How does Zafin’s Account Analysis solution support finance and pricing governance teams?
Zafin helps finance and pricing governance teams compare approved pricing with realized revenue. Teams can monitor exceptions, commitments, approval trails, profitability checks, waiver leakage, and margin leakage, giving them a clearer view of whether revenue is being captured as intended.
