N4 powers launch of Intrinsic's holistic financial advice for pensions, investment, mortgages & insurance.

N4's advanced point of sale technology is enabling Intrinsic's newly launched financial planning and mortgage multi-tie platform to offer holistic advice covering the full spectrum of clients medium and long term financial requirements. It is the first system to assist advisers by offering fully compliant support across a full range of financial products including mortgages, investments, savings and general insurance.

The point of sale technology ensures Intrinsic's advisers can offer a comprehensive financial planning service, from mortgages to pensions, thereby adding real value to their clients' needs, whilst the technology takes care of fact finds, needs and affordability analysis, solution pricing, the production of compliant suitability reports, and also provides straight through processing via its integration with both Exweb, the life and pensions portal, and Trigold, the mortgage portal.

N4's technology will enable advisers to consider all aspects of financial arrangements with their clients in the context of real life scenarios, such as:

  • Mortgage requirements (present and future)
  • Protecting dependants
  • If you are unable to work
  • If you fall seriously ill
  • Retirement
  • Savings
  • Investments
  • Estate planning

They will also be able to offer clients a broad range of products to cater for all these eventualities in a fully compliant manner.

Kevin Ronaldson, CEO, Intrinsic, comments, At the heart of the Intrinsic proposition is a 21st century, easy to use and fully integrated point of sale system designed by N4. In an increasingly sophisticated and complex financial world, our advisers and their customers will experience a simple, efficient and seamless advice led process the complete solution. The N4 system is already proving to be extremely popular right across the market.

Steve Jones, CEO, N4, comments, Technology is at long last being driven by people who understand the financial services industry. We started from the position of what the adviser and the consumer need, not what the supplier can provide. Intrinsic will now be able to offer a more satisfying customer experience, which, as we all know, will ultimately be beneficial to the customer, adviser and provider alike.
