Reg 9 Trust Review Automation
Annual and initial fiduciary reviews with governed automation — reducing manual audit risk without bypassing officer judgment.
Reg 9 reviews at scale
National bank trust departments and state-chartered trust companies face recurring Reg 9 obligations under 12 CFR 9.6 — annual reviews of each fiduciary account and documentation that supports the institution's determination that assets are safe, fees are reasonable, and investments remain suitable.
Manual review cycles consume officer time, invite inconsistency across regions, and leave examiners asking how the institution proves every account received the same standard of care. The Reg 9 Trust Review Automation Agent in Agent Studio streamlines that workload while preserving human sign-off on material exceptions.
- Automated account ingestion Pulls trust account data, holdings, fee schedules, and activity from your trust accounting platform on a defined review cadence.
- Documentation verification Confirms required regulatory documentation is present, current, and linked to the correct account — flagging gaps before examiners do.
- Compliance status application Applies structured compliance statuses directly to target trust accounts, with full audit trails for who approved each status change.
- Exception routing Surfaces accounts that need officer attention — missing investment policy statements, stale suitability records, or fee anomalies — rather than marking them complete by default.
How it fits the r.team stack
Reg 9 automation runs as a governed agent in Agent Studio, feeding structured review outcomes into the Reasoning Engine so officers can ask operational questions across the review population. Pair it with Trust Document Intelligence when governing-instrument terms must be verified against what the system of record holds, and with Interpretation Governance when discretionary decisions require documented rationale beyond checklist compliance.
