Copy the prompt into the AI agent you use with Candor. It works from your Candor records and asks for anything it's missing. New to Candor? Connect your agent first.

Your prompt

Look through my accounts in Candor for fees I may be able to avoid: bank and overdraft fees, card interest, late fees, foreign transaction and ATM fees, and annual fees. Add up what each has cost me over the past year. For each one, explain what triggered it and what would stop it, using my account terms where Candor has them. Draft a refund request where one might work, and ask before sending anything.

Nothing runs until you send the prompt to your agent.

Add up what each fee costs over a year

A single fee looks small. Twelve months of them, or a year of card interest, often does not. Candor holds the charges and, where available, account terms, so your agent can total each fee type and explain what triggered it.

Check the answer

  • Check what triggered each fee. A minimum balance, a late payment, or a foreign purchase each has a different fix.
  • Ask for a refund draft only where one is likely to work, and keep it for your review.

Choose a next step

Fix the triggers you can. For card interest, look at the payoff dates and any promotional rate ending.

Ask it with your own numbers.

Set up Candor, then send this to the agent you already use. It answers from your real records and keeps the plan for next time.
