# How Bolton Global Capital cut client onboarding from 3 hours to 2 minutes

_A $16B AUM US-Brazil cross-border brokerage automated 98.9% of onboarding time and saved $1.2M+ per year in analyst work._

## The client

Bolton Global Capital is a US broker-dealer managing $16B in assets across 120 advisors and 7,000+ accounts, with deep US-Brazil cross-border flow. KYC/AML reviews, document verification, and compliance checks took 3 hours per new client and consumed a full analyst team.

## The problem

Every new account required 45 minutes of KYC/AML lookups, document parsing across multiple jurisdictions, and manual compliance sign-off. For a firm onboarding hundreds of clients per quarter across regulatory regimes, the throughput cap was a real growth constraint and the analyst cost was a real margin drag.

## What we built

HomoDeus built a production AI document and compliance pipeline that ingests incoming client packages, runs KYC/AML across the relevant registries, cross-checks documents against template requirements, and flags exceptions for human review. The system runs end-to-end without human touch on the clean path. A robo-advisor portfolio engine and a reverse-engineered version of the firm's proprietary trading algorithm sit alongside it.

## Outcomes

- 98.9% — faster onboarding (3 hours → 2 minutes)
- 89% — faster compliance across 7,000+ accounts
- $1.2M+ — per year in manual analyst work automated
- $16B — AUM served, 120 advisors

## Key outcome

The compliance review cycle dropped from 6 weeks to 48 hours. Bolton can scale account growth without scaling the compliance team.
