Financial Wellness Agent
Proactive, opt-in financial-health nudges and next-best-action.
Watches cash-flow patterns per customer cohort and composes a nudge on a signal: an upcoming overdraft, an idle balance that should earn interest, a recurring subscription. Every nudge is frequency-capped, suppressible, and audited for fairness so it never tips into dark-pattern territory.
