Abstract: The invention is directed to a system and method for conducting account requests with a financial institution accessible with a client device over a network. An account is established with the financial institution and a user can access the account via the client device. The client device has a user interface that includes a natural language input. A request is input via the natural language input. The inputting step causes network components (e.g., server 42 and one or more software modules 50) to determine whether the request can be granted. Information respecting the request is transmitted to the user interface. The information includes an indication of whether the request can be granted. The inputting step can cause the network components to query a search engine. In this case the search engine returns search results respecting the request.
