PERSONAL FINANCE PORTAL

As a client of Roberts Mackie Winstanley, you’ll have access to the Personal Finance Portal (PFP), our online client portal. PFP allows you to view your short- and long-term finances in one place 24/7 – anywhere, on any mobile or web device.

With PFP you can obtain a valuation of your portfolio, get in touch with your adviser safely and securely via secure messaging, and assess how you’re progressing against your goals. You can upload and store documents in a secure document vault and add any additional account information that you may have to enable you to see your entire financial worth in one place.

PFP allows you to view the data that your adviser has captured in our internal system and also allows you to update your personal data or account information. Any changes you make to the data you see in PFP feeds back to your adviser in real-time.

Secure messaging

With email and post increasingly open to being intercepted, we treat the security of the data you share with us with the utmost importance. PFP provides you with a secure messaging service, so you can quickly get in touch with your adviser and have the peace of mind of knowing that any information you share is encrypted and completely private.

A secure document vault

PFP provides you with a secure Document Vault, so you can store all your financial documents online where they are secure and fully backed up – this is much safer and more convenient than the bottom of the filing cabinet.

Access to PFP Premium

PFP Premium is an additional service that enables you to collate information, electronically, on your short-term finances like bank accounts, credit cards, loans and mortgages, together with your advised products, giving you powerful insight into your total net worth. Plus, you’ll also be able to receive alerts and insights into spending and saving habits so you can keep track of how you’re progressing against the goals you’ve set. Contact us if this additional service is of interest to you.
