This use case leverages Salesforce Financial Services Cloud as the system of engagement and FIS as the core banking platform. The APIs and templates enable you to accelerate time to value. Use the assets as they are, or extend them to suit the needs of your own organization. For example, you can reuse the APIs provided to expose data to additional channels, such as mobile applications, and consumers.

Goals
- Support for viewing Demand Deposit accounts associated with a customer (e.g., savings and checking) from FIS and FSC.
Use case considerations
- Must support a comprehensive view of Accounts for a given customer.
- Must be able to retrieve transactions for a given account.
- Must provide support for a customer to dispute a transaction.
Technical considerations
- Use CIM as the canonical model, where applicable (e.g., for Customers).
- A canonical model for banking accounts will be created.
Assumptions and constraints
- APIs are constrianed due to read-only access to the FIS Global system.
- FIS must be polled to pick up changes to customer and account information.
- FIS does not support querying customers and accounts by date ranges.
- The customer is only able to view the banking summary information.
- With this release, the CSR may change data in FSC but this will not be synced back to FIS.
