Perpetual offers BPAY on platform
The Perpetual WealthFocus Investments platform is providing financial planners with greater flexibility and convenience by offering electronic bill pay service BPAY for initial applications and additional investments.
This will allow advisers to make investments anytime via a secure telephone or Internet connection, said Perpetual general manager of adviser distribution Damian Crowley.
“The extension of BPAY to initial applications follows the increase in Internet banking and electronic payment methods as a preferred method of payment for many investors,” he said.
“We are pleased to deliver these enhancements to the WealthFocus platform and are committed to further enhancements over the coming months.”
