Marketing email that respects consent, unsubscribes and compliance review

Overview

Moraph resells, implements and runs HubSpot for financial institutions that want to market by email without losing track of consent. HubSpot holds contacts, subscription types and the lawful basis for each contact, and sends campaigns with working unsubscribe links. Moraph configures it for CAN-SPAM, GDPR and your compliance review process, keeps the configuration under change control, and checks campaigns against your rules before they go out.

The problem it solves

Marketing teams at banks, credit unions, lenders and advisers want to send timely campaigns, while compliance needs every message reviewed and every recipient's consent respected. In practice contact lists are exported and re-imported, unsubscribes from one system do not reach another, consent records for European contacts are incomplete, and approvals happen by email attachment. When a complaint or regulator asks why someone received a message, the answer is hard to reconstruct.

Who it’s for

  • Marketing teams at banks, credit unions, lenders, wealth managers and advisers
  • Compliance and marketing review staff who approve communications
  • Privacy officers responsible for consent and data protection
  • Institutions with customers or prospects in the United Kingdom or European Union
  • Teams that already use HubSpot and need it governed

How the work flows

  1. Capture consentHubSpot forms record what each contact agreed to, the subscription types they chose and, where GDPR applies, the lawful basis for processing. Moraph configures the forms, subscription types and consent text you approve.
  2. Build and reviewCampaigns are built in HubSpot from approved templates, and Moraph's pre-send checks confirm the required elements are present before compliance approves the content.
  3. Send and honor opt-outsHubSpot sends to the approved audience, suppresses contacts who have opted out, and processes unsubscribes from every message. Moraph keeps opt-outs in step with your other systems.
  4. Govern and evidenceMoraph reviews the configuration, data flows and consent records with your team each month, and produces the evidence needed for complaints, data subject requests and compliance reviews.

What it does

Subscription types
HubSpot lets contacts subscribe to and leave each type of communication separately, such as product news, rate alerts or events, and Moraph sets them up to match your programs.
Consent and lawful basis
HubSpot records the lawful basis for processing and the consent given for contacts covered by GDPR or UK GDPR, configured with the consent text your privacy team approves.
Unsubscribe handling
Every marketing email carries an unsubscribe link, and HubSpot stops sending to the contact for that subscription type, or all marketing email, once they opt out.
Opt-out synchronization
Moraph connects HubSpot with your CRM and other sending systems so an opt-out recorded in one is respected in the others.
Approved templates
Email templates carry your sender identification, postal address, required disclosures and unsubscribe footer, so marketers start from a layout with the required elements in place.
Pre-send checks
Moraph runs a checklist on each campaign before approval: sender details, postal address, subscription type, audience, disclosures and links. Automated checks may flag issues; your reviewer decides.
Compliance approval
Campaigns are routed to your compliance reviewer for approval before sending, using HubSpot approvals where your subscription includes them, with the approval kept with the campaign.
Data minimization
Only the contact fields agreed with your privacy team are synchronized into HubSpot; account balances, account numbers and other nonpublic financial details are kept out unless you approve a specific use.
Data subject requests
Access and deletion requests for contacts are handled using HubSpot's privacy tools, at the direction of your privacy team, with each request logged.
Team permissions
HubSpot user permissions and teams limit who can edit contacts, build emails, publish and export data, configured to your roles by Moraph.
Retention and archiving
Sent emails and their approvals can be passed to your communication archive, so marketing communications are kept with your other records.
Change management
Changes to subscription types, forms, integrations and permissions go through change requests your team approves, and are recorded.

Integrations

CRM
Contacts and opt-outs synchronized with your CRM, including Moraph's managed CRM for Finance, using HubSpot's integrations or the APIs on both sides.
Core banking and digital banking
Where approved, limited customer attributes such as product held or branch are passed to HubSpot for segmentation, without account numbers or balances.
Website and forms
HubSpot forms embedded on your website capture subscriptions and consent.
Communication archive
Sent marketing emails passed to your archive, including Moraph's managed Communication Archiving, for retention and supervision.
Identity provider
Staff sign in through your identity provider where your HubSpot edition supports single sign-on.
Moraph service portal
Change requests, pre-send check results, integration alerts and monthly service reviews tracked in Moraph's service portal.

Security

Single sign-on
Your staff sign in through your identity provider where your HubSpot edition supports it, so your password and multi-factor policies apply; Moraph's service portal always uses your identity provider.
Role-based access
HubSpot permissions limit who can edit contacts, publish emails and export data, and exporting contacts is restricted to the roles you choose.
Data minimization
Nonpublic personal financial information is kept out of HubSpot unless your privacy team approves a specific field for a specific use.
Moraph staff access
Moraph engineers use named accounts with the permissions you approve, and their access is reviewed with yours.
Audit trail
Moraph's service portal records every change request, approval and pre-send check, alongside the activity history HubSpot keeps.
Audited operations
Moraph is SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001 audited company-wide, and its service records are hosted in the United States, United Kingdom or Australia region you choose. HubSpot's own data hosting follows its available regions and terms.

Hosting and deployment

New HubSpot account
A HubSpot account provisioned through Moraph and configured to the agreed baseline.
Existing HubSpot account
Your existing HubSpot account brought under management after a baseline review of consent, permissions and integrations.
Data hosting
HubSpot data is hosted in the HubSpot data center region available for your account under HubSpot's terms; region choice is confirmed during discovery.

Implementation

Discovery
We review your marketing programs, review procedures, consent practices and existing tools, and agree the configuration baseline. We need your marketing and compliance procedures and a privacy contact.
Consent design
Subscription types, consent text, lawful basis settings and double opt-in rules are designed with your compliance and privacy teams.
Data and integrations
The contact fields to be synchronized are agreed and minimized, and integrations with your CRM, website and archive are built and tested.
Contact migration
Existing contacts and their opt-outs are imported, with contacts lacking a known consent status held back for your decision.
Templates and review
Approved templates and the compliance approval process are set up, and marketers and reviewers are trained.
Transition to managed service
The service moves to steady-state operations: pre-send checks, integration monitoring, change management and monthly service reviews.

What it doesn’t do

  • Moraph is not HubSpot. Moraph resells, implements and operates the platform; HubSpot develops it and runs its service.
  • HubSpot's own service commitments, product roadmap and any outages apply. Moraph does not change them.
  • Licences are subject to HubSpot's terms, which you accept as part of the purchase. Some features, such as approvals, audit logs and single sign-on, depend on the edition you license.
  • Moraph does not write or approve your marketing content. Your institution decides what is sent and approves it.
  • Pre-send checks confirm the elements Moraph has agreed to check; they are not legal advice and do not replace your compliance review.
  • The service covers email marketing. Text messages and calls bring separate rules, such as the TCPA, and are not configured unless agreed separately.
  • Opt-out synchronization works with systems that can be integrated; opt-outs held in systems without an integration must be handled by your process.
  • HubSpot is not a records archive. Retention of sent communications relies on your archive.

How to evaluate it

  • Walk through how a contact's consent and subscription choices are recorded and shown
  • Unsubscribe from a test email and check the opt-out reaches your CRM
  • Review a pre-send check on one of your own past campaigns
  • Confirm which contact fields would be synchronized and which kept out
  • Check who could export contacts under the proposed permissions
  • Read the responsibilities table with your compliance and vendor management teams

Questions

Does this make our marketing compliant?

It gives you a platform configured to support CAN-SPAM, GDPR and your review rules, and evidence of consent, opt-outs and approvals. Whether a campaign is compliant remains your institution's judgment, made by your reviewers.

Will customer account data be sent to HubSpot?

Only the fields your privacy team approves. By default account numbers, balances and other nonpublic financial details are kept out.

We already use HubSpot. Can Moraph run it?

Yes. Moraph starts with a baseline review of consent settings, permissions and integrations, agrees what needs fixing, and then operates the account under the same change and reporting model.

How is it priced?

The HubSpot subscription is resold under HubSpot's terms, with Moraph's implementation and managed service priced separately, usually by the edition, number of contacts and integrations in scope. See Working with Moraph for what drives a quotation.

Can it handle broker-dealer or adviser review requirements?

The approval step can be configured so a registered principal or your compliance reviewer approves content before it is sent, and approvals can be passed to your archive. Your firm remains responsible for meeting FINRA and SEC requirements.

Does it cover text messages?

Not by default. Text and call marketing have separate consent rules, and any such channel is scoped separately.
