And as fiduciaries, our advisors are legally bound to act in your best interest and will never put their personal financial gain above yours.

Presentation

Data Driven Account Opening

We are sharing a new way of opening investment accounts. Our app and dashboard allow users to link any financial account (from a credit card to a student loan, 401k, or mortgage), and we apply heuristic and machine learning techniques to increase the quality of aggregated data so users and their advisors can see all accounts and data in one place.

Because we enabled both the user and his/her advisor to see the same holistic financial picture, we transformed the traditional “opening and funding of an account” transaction into a natural conversation about the best way to implement a financial plan, including better portfolio and tax strategies, by moving money from a held away account to an on-us account. We use rich personal financial data to make account opening as seamless as possible.

What You’ll Learn

  • As a user, I want the system to use my aggregated financial data to create an actionable financial plan.
  • As a user, I want the system to leverage all of the financial information it has about me and my behavior to make the account opening seamless and collaborative.
  • As a product manager, I want the account opening forms to have personality and be organized in bite-sized conversations to keep users engaged.
