The problem
Brokers carry many accounts that were opened during an IPO rush or a market rally and then went quiet. Some clients lost interest, but many are blocked: their KYC is on hold at the KRA, a nomination or declaration is pending, two-factor login is locked or the bank account was never verified.
Blanket campaigns miss the real reason
A generic 'come back and trade' message does nothing for a client whose account is blocked by a KYC issue.
Exchange inactivity rules add steps
Accounts flagged as inactive under exchange norms may need verification before they can trade again, and clients often do not know this.
Conduct risk in growth messaging
Messages that hint at easy profits or push derivatives to inexperienced clients create regulatory and reputational risk.
No proof of what worked
Without control groups, teams cannot tell whether a campaign brought clients back or simply reached those who would have returned anyway.
What we build
We build a reactivation system on top of your back office, KYC data and marketing tools. It segments dormant accounts by likely reason: KYC or KRA status on hold, pending nomination or declarations, locked login, never funded, traded once then stopped, or long-term investor with no recent activity. Blocked accounts get a service-first journey with a re-KYC or update link and help to clear the issue. Others receive approved educational and product-feature content through WhatsApp, email or SMS, with frequency caps and opt-outs. High-value clients and anyone who replies are routed to an RM or support. Every journey runs against a holdout group, so you can see what actually changed.
- Segments dormant accounts by reason using KYC status, nominee status, login, funding and trade history
- Runs service-first journeys for re-KYC, nominee and declaration updates and login recovery
- Sends compliance-approved educational and feature content through WhatsApp, email and SMS
- Applies consent checks, frequency caps and exclusions for vulnerable segments
- Routes high-value clients and replies to RMs or support with context
- Measures each journey against a randomly assigned holdout group

FAQs
01Will this push clients into derivatives trading?
No. Journeys focus on clearing account blockers and sharing approved educational and feature content. Trading-oriented messages exclude vulnerable segments, and no content offers tips or promises returns.
02Which channels does it use?
WhatsApp, email and SMS by default, with optional calls by your team or a voice agent for service-blocked accounts. Each channel checks consent and preferences before sending.
03How do we know the campaigns worked?
Every journey has a randomly assigned holdout group. Results compare the two, so you see the effect of the journey rather than clients who would have returned anyway.
04Can it handle accounts flagged inactive by the exchange?
Yes. It identifies those accounts and guides clients through the verification or update steps your process requires before they can trade again.
