FSC already covers core concepts such as households, financial accounts, policies, goals and holdings, while custom development is better suited to portals, suitability and risk calculations, KYC\/AML workflows, regulatory reporting, onboarding and core-system integrations. Compliance, evidence retention and security controls should shape the architecture from the start rather than being added after development.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Financial Services Cloud already contains the data model most firms start by scoping as custom development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Financial Account, Party, Household, Insurance Policy, Financial Goal, Financial Holding, Investment Account, Loan Account &#8211; these exist as standard or packaged objects, maintained by Salesforce, with the relationships and user interface components already built. Teams that rebuild them spend six figures recreating something that ships in the box, and inherit a maintenance obligation Salesforce would otherwise carry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This guide covers what genuinely needs building, what only needs extending, and the compliance constraints that shape both.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Where Standard Salesforce Stops for Financial Services<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sales Cloud assumes a customer and an opportunity. Financial Services assumes something structurally different: a household rather than an individual, financial accounts held across institutions, relationships between parties that matter as much as the parties themselves, and every interaction subject to evidential requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Financial Services Cloud Closes Most Of That Gap:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It provides the household and relationship model, financial accounts, policies and claims, goals and holdings, plus interface components built for advisors and bankers rather than sales reps.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>What It Doesn\u2019t Close<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Is your onboarding process, your suitability framework, your regulator\u2019s reporting format, and the core banking or policy administration system you happen to run.
