Advice and Guidance Platform

Improve your customer experience and transform how you give advice and guidance

with automated processes and seamless integration.

Let's get started

What is it?

 Our Advice and Guidance Platform delivers partial or fully automated processes.

So you can give your customers complete choice over the level of support they need when purchasing financial products.

From a single software engine, you can offer customers a choice between:

  • Self-service advice and guidance
  • Highly affordable digital advice and guidance
  • Traditional face-to-face advice and guidance


And between all these options, your customers are guaranteed a seamless handover. We can integrate our digital services into your existing processes, or help you deliver all three routes. Your customers then get consistency across the entire guidance or advice journey.

We can provide compliant, fully automated online advice and guidance for:

  • ISA/GIA
  • Pre-retirement
  • Mortgage protection
  • Financial health check

At-retirement advice is in development, due for launch in March 2019.

Reduce time and improve customer experience

This large high-street financial institution needed to streamline its financial planning advice.

The challenge

The existing process was long and manual: staff handed out leaflets to customers, who faced a drawn-out process to get advice. It was stifling efforts to improve customer experience and limited how many people could access advice services.

Our client knew it needed a more efficient process to meet the growing demand for accessible and personalised advice.

Our solution

We used our Advice and Guidance Platform to create automated processes. This provides our client's customers with:

  • an accessible and personalised solution that gives them the confidence and motivation to save, and where appropriate, invest.
  • a financial health check tool that helps them identify areas of financial focus.

Results include

  • Savings advice time reduced by 90%
  • Investments advice time reduced by several hours
  • Staff can spend better quality time with their customers
  • Customers get an accessible and personalised platform to help them save and invest
  • The solution was rolled out across the country, following a successful pilot

One Financial Adviser: offering low-cost, compliant and automated advice

One Financial Adviser spotted a gap in the market for affordable, automated advice. The combination of the ‘advice gap’, the introduction of pension freedoms, and the establishment of the FCA Sandbox has created a unique opportunity.

Over 9 million people are newly saving into workplace pension schemes, with the industry worth over £2 trillion, and they need access to advice on potentially life-changing decisions. One Financial Adviser's challenge was to create a low-cost, affordable automated process that delivered fully compliant advice.


Our solution

EValue created a platform and tested it in the FCA Sandbox. The innovative algorithm-driven advice was consumer-tested in the Sandbox for pre-retirement.

It looked at the advice process around accumulating for retirement, considering factors such as age and target retirement income to advise on how much an individual needs to contribute. Thanks to this, One Financial Adviser can provide independent and transparent advice to customers.

At-retirement advice is now in development, where people can get advice on what to do with their pension pot at the point of retirement.

The results

One Financial Adviser can now offer fully automated advice that's compliant, at a low cost. The turnkey solution offers benefits such as:

  • Robust and suitable retirement strategies created by advice that considers all financial information, including all savings and investments.
  • Access to an innovative, brand-agnostic fully-automated advice solution, proven in the FCA Sandbox, which can be tailored to fit business strategy.
  • Improvements to consumer engagement and experience through affordable and digital advice, supporting individuals who don't have access to an adviser.
  • Opportunity to offer compliant advice to those who need it, without taking on the risk and regulatory responsibility, while reducing the cost of advice.
