Rising To The Occasion
As the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 posed unprecedented challenges in the financial sector, finexis advisory enhanced its digital capabilities to support its extensive network of over 700 financial advisors and their clients.
finexis advisory’s digital strategy consists of digital tools designed to enhance the financial planning experience and foster stronger relationships between the company’s financial consultants and their clients.
The strategy also includes a Financial Dreams Manager tool that can simulate the feasibility of a client’s financial goals and dreams, a client mobile app, and an electronic Know Your Customer (eKYC) application.
finexis advisory has also become the first financial advisory firm in Singapore to launch a WhatsApp chatbot integrated with ChatGPT.
Testament To Innovation
During an interaction with International Finance, finexis advisory (SG) Deputy CEO Irene Ho said, “Our recognition as the Most Innovative Homegrown Financial Advisory Firm 2023 is a testament to our journey of growth and innovation. At finexis, we’re not just embracing digital transformation; we’re actively shaping it to align with our core values of client-centric service. This award reflects our team’s dedication and our commitment to staying ahead in a dynamic financial landscape.”
The digital enhancements have allowed advisors to focus more on understanding the needs of the client and providing tailored financial strategies and personalised advice.
The eKYC process has reduced the time required for client onboarding, verification and compliance checks.
