In 2016, Salesforce released Financial Services Cloud (FSC) — initially to serve the wealth management market. Since then, it has expanded to retail banking, commercial banking, and insurance to become a one-stop solution for the modern bank.
Having worked with numerous banks and equipment finance companies that use Salesforce Financial Services Cloud, I’ve noticed a real trend towards companies underutilizing the amazing features available to them. It’s not anyone’s fault, as FSC is loaded with robust features that increase with each release, and it can be hard to stay on top of them all!
I have created a video that includes some of the top features I’ve seen in the Salesforce Financial Services Cloud, which may help you get more out of your Salesforce FSC investment. Enjoy!
