Lombard International Assurance, a global leader in wealth structuring solutions for high-net-worth individuals, today announced the launch of its new digital platform called ‘Connect’. This represents an important transformation in the way Lombard International Assurance provides access to a range of services and is another milestone in the firm’s growth strategy.
Connect is a purpose built digital servicing platform which provides online and secure access to client data, and transaction information. It has been specifically designed in collaboration with the firm’s Partners (including private banks and professional advisers) to develop an innovative digital solution that is attuned to their requirements and preferences.
Connect also provides real-time dashboard functionality with intuitive navigation to access policy details, and latest NAVs (Net Asset Values). By enhancing Lombard International Assurance’s service offering in such a way, Partners and their clients can monitor their transactions and queries, stay up-to-date with investment performance and access additional online support through an interactive query handling facility via desktops, tablets and smartphones. Connect is accessible 24/7 and available in six languages: English, Dutch, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
Commenting on the launch of Connect, Erlend Fredriksen, CFA, Product Specialist, Pareto Wealth Management said, “I have been thoroughly impressed by this solution throughout the beta testing period and cannot wait to start using it. I do not exaggerate when I say that the Connect servicing platform will make my job easier”.
