Overview
Before you can send a Source of Funds request, you need to add it as a step in a workflow. This article explains how to add the step, choose the bank statement period and decide whether clients must upload evidence for each source.
Before you start
You need permission to create or edit workflows in Legl. If you do not have access, speak to an Admin at your firm.
Decide how many months of bank statements you need from clients. The options are 3, 6, 12 or 24 months.
