    Streamlining client consent on BT Panorama

    Gaining client consent can be a slow process that traditionally requires administrative effort from both adviser and client. Additionally, in some circumstances, supporting advice documentation such as an ROA needs to be incorporated into the consent request.

    BT Panorama offers a digital consent workflow that assists in seeking, receiving and then executing client instructions – enabling clients to quickly and easily provide their consent via digital channels.

    Clients can provide consent for a range of actions including:

    • Setting up nominated bank accounts, BPAY, or ‘Pay anyone’ accounts
    • Investment transactions
    • Corporate actions
    • Adding or updating advice fees

     

    Watch the digital consent workflow in action (1:44)

    Key benefits of digital consent

    Efficiency

    • Save time - by minimising client follow-up (e.g. when overseas or on holidays) and reducing paperwork and double handling

    • Reduce risk – including errors and timing risks impacting portfolio rebalancing

    • Service more clients - by reducing unnecessary face-to-face meetings

    Engagement

    • Trans­parency – the client can feel more involved through better visibility of the process

    • Evidencing value – it’s easier for clients to see the value you're adding, helping build a stronger adviser/client relationship
