VicSuper reaches more members with new tech
VicSuper has partnered with Provisio Technologies to deliver ‘single issue’ advice on a more widespread scale.
Provisio’s Rapid Advice will be integrated into VicSuper’s existing member administration and work flow systems in order to offer advice in person and by phone, as well as print and web-based channels.
“Integrated solutions will continue to provide value as a fund expands its use of rapid advice through mobile, web, phone and printed communications — unlike the old web-based calculators that cater for online members only,” said Provisio director Cameron O’Sullivan.
“Funds who are serious about rapid advice don’t want to cut corners.”
VicSuper’s chief executive Michael Dundon said he acknowledges that comprehensive advice is not for everyone and believes that this initiative will provide superannuation planning to members who may not otherwise seek expert advice.
“Single issue advice will benefit many more of our members,” Dundon said.
