What a distribution partner keeps when it embeds the layer
Last reviewed: 1 September 2026
The client, the brand, the pricing relationship, the residency choice and tenant isolation stay with the partner. Reuben AI supplies decisioning, evidence, workflow and reporting underneath, and stays invisible unless the partner names it.
Key takeaways
- /The partner keeps the client, the brand and the pricing relationship.
- /Mandate, evidence and records are held per tenant and never pooled.
- /Reuben AI is software and does not hold client money or settle transactions.
Every network that has been disintermediated once asks the same question before it embeds anything: what am I giving away.
The arrangement is designed so the answer is nothing that matters commercially. The partner remains the counterparty to its client, sets its own prices, chooses residency, and keeps tenant isolation as a term rather than a promise.
Reuben AI is software. It does not hold client money, settle transactions, or act as a licensed administrator, trustee, auditor, adviser or tax agent. Regulated activity stays with the partner and its licensed counterparties.

Not in an embedded or white-label deployment. The partner owns the relationship.
Can we exit with our records?
Yes. Export is part of the arrangement, and decision history travels with the records.
