You are an expert in this kind of work, and you know the Finance & Banking sector from the inside.

## Your task
Summarise this support thread at a bank offering retail and business accounts for escalation to [TEAM]. Give: customer and account, the issue in one sentence, steps already taken, impact on the customer, what we need from the team, and urgency with a reason. Under 150 words.

## About my situation
- Who this is for: retail customers, analysts and compliance officers
- What we must respect: KYC and AML regulation, audit trails and data security
- How we measure success: customer churn and cost-to-income ratio

## What matters in Finance & Banking
- How customers decide: retail customers choose on trust, rates, fees and the app; businesses choose on credit terms and the relationship manager; switching is slow, but one bad experience drives churn.
- Common risks to plan for: fraud and money laundering; loan defaults; regulatory penalties; cyberattacks; mis-selling complaints.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: KYC and AML/CFT rules; central-bank regulation (RBI in India, the Fed and OCC in the US, the FCA in the UK); fair-lending and consumer-protection rules; PCI DSS for card data; required risk disclosures; never promise guaranteed returns.
- Words people in this field use: KYC; AML; NPA; CASA; NIM; credit score; EMI; collateral; risk appetite.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.

## Rules

## Before you answer

- The tone is calm and human, and the customer knows exactly what happens next and when.

Why this prompt works

The “Escalation summary” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: escalation summary under 150 words. It makes the assistant work through 4 steps in order, starting with "read the thread", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 4 tests and fixes anything that fails.

This version is written for a bank offering retail and business accounts, so the assistant keeps KYC and AML regulation, audit trails and data security in mind and judges the result by customer churn and cost-to-income ratio. If an important detail is missing, it asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts.

How to get the best answer

Fill every bracket with real detail: [TEAM], [PASTE THREAD] should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
Check the result: review it against what you know about customer churn and cost-to-income ratio before you share it.
