Wealthtech Speeds RIA Onboarding: Custody Command Layer Integrates Goldman Sachs Custody Solutions

Custody Command Layer links to Goldman Sachs Custody Solutions to speed account opening for independent RIAs, improving onboarding efficiency and compliance.

A leading wealthtech firm has launched a streamlined solution to speed account opening for independent registered investment advisors (RIAs). By connecting its Custody Command Layer to Goldman Sachs Custody Solutions, the platform reduces manual steps, accelerates digital onboarding, and helps RIAs scale operations without sacrificing compliance.

The Custody Command Layer acts as a unified custody integration layer that taps into institutional-grade custody services. For independent RIAs, this means faster account opening, smoother transfers, and real-time custody status updates. Integrating with Goldman Sachs Custody Solutions leverages a trusted custodial backbone while the wealthtech layer handles workflow automation, API calls, and reconciliation logic.

Faster account opening is a major win for advisors. Traditional onboarding can take days or weeks due to paperwork, manual verification, and back-and-forth between custodians. The combined solution streamlines identity checks, account setup, and document routing, reducing turnaround times and improving the client experience. Advisors can focus on financial planning and client relationships rather than operational bottlenecks.

Security and compliance remain central to the offering. By using Goldman Sachs Custody Solutions, the Custody Command Layer aligns with strong custody controls and regulatory expectations. Built-in audit trails, encrypted data flows, and standardized APIs help RIAs meet KYC/AML requirements and maintain transparent records for compliance reviews.

The integration also supports scalability. As independent RIAs grow their client base, the custody integration reduces the need to expand back-office staff proportionally. Automated workflows and error-reduction mechanisms minimize exceptions and manual fixes, freeing advisors to pursue new business and deepen client engagement.

In short, the partnership between the wealthtech firm’s Custody Command Layer and Goldman Sachs Custody Solutions delivers a practical, modern custody integration that speeds account opening, enhances onboarding efficiency, and strengthens compliance for independent RIAs. For advisory firms seeking to modernize operations and improve the client onboarding journey, this custody-first approach offers measurable operational benefits and a faster path to scale.
