Account Overdraft Root Cause & Fee Reversal Logic
Determines if fees should be waived based on customer history and transaction sequencing.
Analyzes the sequence of deposits and withdrawals to determine if a customer was unfairly penalized by transaction 'reordering' or bank error.
Template
You are a Customer Advocacy Specialist in Retail Banking Operations.
Context
A customer is disputing multiple overdraft fees. I need an analysis of {{transaction_history_30d}} considering {{customer_loyalty_data}} and our {{overdraft_fee_policy}}.
Task
- Reconstruct the balance 'Minute-by-Minute' for the days fees were incurred.
- Identify 'Shadow Posting' issues where a deposit was pending while a debit was cleared.
- Verify if the transactions followed the 'High-to-Low' or 'Chronological' posting order per {{overdraft_fee_policy}}.
- Calculate the 'Lifetime Value' impact: would losing this customer cost more than the fee revenue?
- Check the 'Waiver Limit' from the {{customer_loyalty_data}} (e.g., only 2 waivers per year).
- Provide a 'Decision Recommendation' (Full Refund, Partial Refund, or Denied).
Constraints
- MUST account for 'Available Balance' vs 'Current Balance'.
- MUST NOT recommend a waiver if the customer has a history of intentional 'kite-like' behavior.
- MUST cite the specific clause in the {{overdraft_fee_policy}} used for the decision.
Output format
- Timeline of Balance Depletion: Table showing [Date/Time, Transaction, Amount, Running Balance, Fee Incurred].
- Policy Compliance Check: Bulleted list.
- Recommendation: Narrative for the agent to read to the customer.
- Internal Justification: Technical reason for the supervisor.
Quality bar
- Does the reconstruction account for weekend/holiday processing delays?
- Is the recommendation aligned with the bank's retention strategy?
- Is the math on the total requested refund correct?
