The wealth management industry is experiencing unprecedented growth. Clients are demanding superior experience while offering lower fees – forcing the industry to connect, simplify and digitize both their operations and their technology ecosystem. Seamless client onboarding and servicing continues to be among the top priorities for many executives. It’s also the key to attracting and retaining clients and advisors.
Drivers for change
While COVID-19 has fueled investments in the wealth management space – with 10 million new brokerage accounts opened in 2020, and massive increases in discretionary accounts - one in three financial institutions continue to lose clients due to inefficient onboarding and servicing experiences, plus the inability for wealth managers to provide self-servicing capabilities to their clients.
Many wealth management organizations struggle with siloed applications and technology with little or no integrations, multiple sources of data, and the lack of an end-to-end view into onboarding. There’s also an overreliance on paper for servicing requests. The challenges of incomplete data and poor data quality are among the biggest culprits for elongating onboarding time. A well-integrated, modern, and nimble solution is needed to address the challenges.
