Stay Ahead of Client Changes with openthebox Notifications

openthebox processes thousands of updates daily from official sources. As a banker, manually keeping track of all changes would be overwhelming. That’s why openthebox offers a powerful notification feature that alerts you to the changes that matter most.

This is especially useful for relationship management, compliance, KYC monitoring, and risk analysis.

1. Following a Single Company or Person

Want to track updates for a specific client or prospect?

1. Navigate to the company or person profile in openthebox.

2. Click the Follow button at the top right.

Once followed, the entity will appear in your Lists as a group. From there, you can:

• Rename the list (e.g., “Top Clients” or “Q2 Leads”)

• Customize which types of notifications you receive

Perfect for relationship managers or corporate account teams.

2. Uploading a List of Clients or Prospects

If you already have a list of clients or leads you'd like to monitor or enrich, you can easily upload it:
