Usage Statistics Growth |
back to contents
One of our core internal metrics for success is a steady increase in usage stats for both advisers using MIM, and end users engaging with your branded portal and apps. Positive key indicators include the number of documents and messages being sent and received via your portal and apps, and frequency and number of client logins.
Our client services team are always on-hand using events, webinars, training calls, and a range of other methods to support you to get the most out of your investment in technology.
We are very happy to report a sustained increase in all of the above measures with a record number of documents and messages being sent and received in 2023!
We have seen a 58% increase in average monthly messages sent 2022 vs 2023.
We have seen a 62% increase in average number of monthly documents shared 2022 vs 2023.
In November 2023 we witnessed the highest number of messages sent via moneyinfo manager we have ever seen, with 100% increase compared to November 2022
The number of portal logins this year totalled a 35% increase from 2022 - 2023 with over 2,000,000 logins.
These numbers really are something to celebrate and are testament to the dedication of all of our clients and staff, ensuring we continue to deliver exceptional value and service.
Charity Donations |
back to contents
With the benefit of having Bold, Trusted, Together etched into our company culture, we acknowledge the importance of community and togetherness, putting a heavy emphasis on these values in all of our team meetings and activities.
With this in mind, every year we give to charities that we have nominated in-house. We do this to support and reflect on those in less fortunate positions and in need at a time where we celebrate giving.
This year we have split our donation across the 3 charities listed below which were nominated by members of the moneyinfo Crew.
Dogs Trust has been dedicated to improving the lives of dogs, emphasising responsible ownership and care.
The Donkey Sanctuary is an organisation dedicated to providing a home for donkeys in need. Located in Sidmouth, it offers a sanctuary for rescued donkeys, ensuring they have a good quality of life.
Dementia UK plays a crucial role in addressing the challenges faced by families affected by dementia and contributing to the overall management of dementia in the country.
moneyinfo 12.2 Release |
back to contents
December saw the full release of moneyinfo 12.2, the full release notes can be downloaded here.
This release brought a host of new features designed to enhance your experience and streamline your business processes.
Here's an overview of each major feature included in the current release:
Pin Notes:
You can now pin notes to a client's record on their summary page so that they are displayed at the top of the overview and timeline tabs. This gives you quick and easy access to key information about your clients.
DocuSign Multiple Documents:
We've made the document-signing process even better. Now, you can upload multiple documents all at once when requesting a signature from your clients. Previously, you could only upload one document in moneyinfo manager, and then had to add more in DocuSign. This change means you can now handle all those documents directly within moneyinfo manager, making the process faster, and enabling you to easily send multiple documents in a single DocuSign envelope.
Extending the moneyinfo API:
We're excited to announce the further enhancement of our API (Application Programming Interface) to include all Fact find fields, including any custom fields you have created. The API acts as a bridge, allowing moneyinfo to share data, documents or other information with other systems you may be using within your business. The extension of the API to include additional fact find data will allow your technical team or third parties to access this information and update it into other systems to support your required business processes.

Our integration with Seccl is designed to provide advisers with a market-leading level of onboarding efficiency, while delivering clients a streamlined and intuitive experience that's accessible on any device and under their advisers’ brand.
In particular, by making use of Seccl's comprehensive API capability, it will allow firms to gather clients' acceptance of suitability, as well as their acceptance of platform and wrapper T&Cs, all in one go – potentially saving weeks of back and forth and delay.

moneyinfo Steering Groups | back to contents
At moneyinfo, we're always listening and actively collaborating. As a result, many of the exciting and innovative features we have developed have been suggested by you, our clients.
Our clients are our best resource for developing new features based off of feedback. Regular user forums, training, telephone support and client meetups encourage our users to collaborate and share ideas from which we all benefit.
In light of this, we have recently decided to host steering groups in 2024, to encourage idea sharing with our Product Owner Ryan McCarthy.
We want to ensure we build the perfect solution to address the challenges of the 21st century financial adviser or wealth manager, and that's why we think it's a great idea to host sessions dedicated especially to providing value for the future.
That's what building together is all about!
So, do you share our vision and would like to know how you can get involved?
Email Ryan to get involved: ryan.mccarthy@moneyinfo.com.
