Nashville, TN and St. Louis, MO. September 27, 2017. Wealth Access, the industry’s largest independent personal financial management and account aggregation platform, announced today that Buckingham Strategic Wealth and BAM Advisor Services has selected Wealth Access for its digital client experience technology suite.
Wealth Access’ technology enables advisors and their clients to automate account gathering of all assets and liabilities to drive meaningful conversations and holistic advice. The results are deeper client relationships as well as operational efficiencies and the ability to turbo charge revenue-generating activities by identifying assets held away for consolidation.
“We’re dedicated to staying on the forefront of changes in the wealth management industry, so we are excited to partner with Wealth Access to bring these digital capabilities and technology integrations to our clients,” said Jeff Remming, chief innovation officer at Buckingham and BAM. “While we focus on building deep relationships with clients, we also know that they want a digitally enabled experience that incorporates all the latest information about their entire financial situation. With Wealth Access, we are now able to provide that comprehensive experience, and that platform will serve as a powerful relationship management tool for our advisors.”
By being an “aggregator of aggregators,” Wealth Access is able to go above and beyond providing an aggregated view of client holdings to be able to also tap into visual-aggregated displays of clients’ entire financial situations, cash flow and budgeting, personal financial statements and integrations with financial planning systems through links to over 20,000 institutions via enterprise components and APIs.
“We are very excited to be working with a champion of the fiduciary movement such as Buckingham,” said David Benskin, CEO of Wealth Access. “We look forward to helping them enhance their ability to deliver an outstanding digital experience.”
