Scope & preparation

When this is useful

Corporate banking administration often involves multiple internal owners. A bank query may depend on a company record, a finance document or an authorised signatory’s response. Coordination is useful when the work is delayed by handoffs rather than by a lack of information.

How ADPR can help

ADPR can help maintain a shared request tracker and coordinate administrative follow-up. Payment instructions, account permissions and acceptance of bank terms remain with authorised people. The scope should identify a single business owner who can resolve internal questions.

A typical process

  1. List open requests and their bank contacts.

  2. Assign business owners and agree the approval sequence.

  3. Track queries, dependencies and responses without accessing banking credentials.

What to prepare

  • Open banking requests
  • Internal owner and signatory roles
  • Relevant bank correspondence

Possible scope outputs

  • Request and responsibility register
  • Follow-up schedule
  • Resolution and evidence log

The proposal will confirm what is included, who is responsible and the applicable timeline. These are scope examples, not a fixed package.

Questions worth asking

Can ADPR authorise a payment?

No. Payment authority remains with the account’s authorised users under the bank’s arrangements.

Is this only for a new account?

Coordination can also concern administrative requests on an existing relationship, subject to an agreed scope and the bank’s process.
