[00:39] Our investment in core platform technology means we can deliver enhancements faster and more frequently. Since launching our new intuitive user experience, we’ve delivered over 50 improvements. 

[00:52] We’ve cut down on paperwork and made key processes faster and safer: 

[00:57] We’ve digitised customer verification, reducing risk and speeding up money-out requests.

[01:03] ISA and GIA withdrawals, pension transfers through Origo, and regular contribution edits are now all online.

[01:11] Your clients can nominate beneficiaries digitally – saving you time and simplifying admin. 

[01:18] To make sure your clients receive their income on time and charges are paid without delay, you can now ringfence cash online. 

[01:25] And, to give your clients more tax-efficient options, we’ve expanded ARC’s offshore bond partnerships and introduced a Junior SIPP. 

[01:34] These changes are making a real difference – ARC’s Net Promoter Score has increased by over 40 points.

[01:42] So that’s today. What about tomorrow? We have a wave of exciting updates on the way, including: 

[01:50] A Junior ISA – supporting intergenerational wealth planning

[01:54] A better core drawdown experience 

[01:57] More charging flexibility

[02:00] An easier-to-use model portfolio experience, including multiple models
