Prismm created bank software that adds beneficiary setup and estate records to accounts before a death, so account holders can authorize relatives early and spare heirs a later paper hunt. Built for financial institutions and the families attached to those accounts, it puts assets, records and eligible transfer steps in one digital view for a designated person.
Designate digitizes beneficiary updates for banks. Anchor organizes accounts and property from multiple institutions in one secure place, so families in different states can complete eligible transfers remotely with identity, consent and supporting files already stored.
Offered through banks rather than a separate consumer app, Prismm turns estate planning into account infrastructure instead of another task families delay. Estate attrition drains banks of billions in deposits, and digital beneficiary updates plus remote transfers give institutions a clearer way to retain inherited funds and connect with the next generation.
