InvestCloud, which claims to be the global leader in financial digital transformation, announced that Huntington National Bank has “launched Advisor Connect, a branded, digital experience built on InvestCloud’s Find My Advisor technology.”
Huntington is “a subsidiary of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (Nasdaq: HBAN), a $179 billion asset regional bank holding company headquartered in Columbus, Ohio.”
Retirement savings, insurance concerns and financial planning “can feel overwhelming without a financial advisor who understands your unique needs.” Huntington now “offers Advisor Connect, a digital platform that makes it easy for customers to shop for and connect with the right Huntington financial advisor.”
After answering a few questions, users are “shown a tailored list of advisors whose interests and areas of specialty align with their financial needs, personal interests and preferences for collaborating remotely or in-person.”
Michael Robinson, Huntington’s Director of Wealth Management, remarked:
“Connecting our customers with the right advisor is essential to providing an outstanding experience for our customers. Our partnership with InvestCloud delivers on our vision to be the leading ‘people-first, digitally powered’ bank and puts the customer at the center of the experience.”
Developed in collaboration with Huntington, Find My Advisor is “an API-based application that integrates seamlessly into an existing online banking experience.”
It uses customizable questions and logic “to make the process of finding an advisor intuitive.”
Simply answer a few questions—current financial assets and future goals, personal and philanthropic interests, in-person or virtual meetings—”to see a tailored list of compatible advisors with either Huntington Private Bank or Huntington Financial Advisors, a Huntington affiliate.”
Through Find My Advisor, wealth managers and financial institutions, “like Huntington, can deepen existing customer relationships while helping clients plan for and achieve their long-term financial and investment goals.”
Will Bailey, chief strategy officer at InvestCloud, stated:
“Developing empathy with a client for effective communication and planning—either in person or digitally—is a must for any wealth manager. So being able to connect the right client to the right advisor is essential for long-term, multi-generational retention. Find My Advisor, the InvestCloud app behind Advisor Connect, does just that, helping to secure clients and convert them at scale.”
Bailey further explained:
“This app also speaks to how we approach innovation at InvestCloud. We work hand in hand with our clients to develop the precise functionality they need and in a way that works seamlessly with the brand. We’d like to thank Huntington for going on this journey with us.”
Find My Advisor is “the latest app added to InvestCloud’s ever-expanding library of more than 300 digital apps that can be configured in infinite ways for more personalized and intuitive client experiences.”
