Money Market Savings Account:
To enable Money Market Savings Account (MMSA) functionality, a new data segment has been introduced. This enhancement allows banks to configure specific business products that a customer must already hold as a prerequisite for opening an MMSA. By setting these configurations, banks can ensure compliance with their internal product bundling or eligibility policies. This provides both operational flexibility and tighter control over account opening requirements for MMSA products.
A new RESTful API has been developed that accepts customer number and MMSA business product as input criteria, and returns active account numbers along with their status, based on the configured prerequisite business products.

- The IRA Contribution Service has been enhanced to allow the option of identifying a contribution as an employer contribution if done by the employer for IRA-SEP accounts.
- A new Customer- Plan level maintenance screen allows the user to have the option to maintain the employment history details and also allows the user the view/ add the mapped accounts for that customer – plan combination.
