Bridges extends its reach
IOOF-linked Bridges has extended its potential advice delivery footprint via the signing of three additional referral partners to its network - Woolworths Employees Credit Union, Select Mutual Banking and Heritage Isle Credit Union.
According to Bridges, the new alliances will see more than 34,000 members able to access the Bridges service offering.
Commenting on the key signings, Bridges chief executive Michael Carter acknowledged that the credit union and building society network represented one of Bridges' most valued sources of new clients.
"As an industry, the ability for financial planners to source new leads is an ever-present issue," he said.
"Over 70 credit unions, building societies and other non-bank financial intermediaries provide warm leads for our Bridges planners to work with."
The three additions follow the signing of a strategic partnership between Bridges and industry super fund, Health Industry Plan, in June.
