Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 4 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features advanced show logic: if “How long have you lived at this address?” is Less than 3 years, the form dynamically exposes “Previous address”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Are you tax resident in more than one country?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “List every other country of tax residence”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Do you want an overdraft facility?” is Yes, “Overdraft amount requested” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Are you a national of the country this account is held in?” is No, “Immigration or residency document” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

Opening an account is mostly an evidence-gathering exercise, and the reason it drags is that half the evidence arrives late. This form asks for everything in one pass. The applicant gives their full legal name, any previous name, date of birth, nationality, current address and how long they have lived there, with a second address block appearing automatically when the answer is under three years. Contact details are validated on entry so statements and one-time codes do not bounce. Identity evidence is uploaded rather than described: a photo identity document, a proof of address dated within the accepted window, and, where the applicant is not a national of the country the account sits in, immigration or residency evidence. Tax questions cover country of tax residence and the reference number that country uses, with an additional block for anyone who is tax resident in more than one place. The account section captures the product wanted, the currency, whether a card and overdraft are requested, and the expected monthly turnover and source of funds — the two answers that drive most follow-up questions from a compliance team. A declaration, signature and date close the record, and the whole submission exports as one PDF for the customer file.
