CRM Relationships (including beneficial owners)

Hummingbird allows you to relate Profiles to other Profiles

Background

The power of CRM is the ability to associate objects with each other. Within Hummingbird, CRM objects are defined as Tier 1 and Tier 2:

Tier 1: People, Businesses, and Financial Institutions Tier 2: Bank Account, Payment Card, Devices, and Crypto Address

Hummingbird supports relationships between First and Second Tier objects, for instance; Bank Accounts and Businesses, Bank Accounts and Signatories, Devices and People.

Hummingbird also supports relationships between Tier 1 profiles - People and Businesses can be related to a business as Beneficial Owners of that business. We also support customer defined relationships.

To enable your organization to use CRM Relationships, we have created two badge permissions which can be assigned to badges of your choosing.

Pro-tips

  • You can quickly jump between related profiles by clicking on the relationship.

  • An asterisk next to a relationship means that the relationship originated from the profile you are currently viewing. To effectively manage asymmetrical relationships, we recommend being consistent in which profile you originate the relationship from. For example, always establish a relationship such as employer from the employer's profile.
