Prestigious Annual Awards Program Recognizes Outstanding Financial Technology Products And Companies Around the World
RED BANK, N.J., March 14, 2024 – New Jersey-based investment management firm WBI is excited to announce its Cy Platform, created by software affiliate CyborgTech LLC, has been honored with the “Wealth Management Innovation Award” at the 8th annual FinTech Breakthrough Awards. The awards, organized by independent research company FinTech Breakthrough, celebrate excellence and innovation in the global FinTech sector.
The Cy Platform introduces an award-winning Digital Onboarding solution that revolutionizes the traditional account opening process. By converting manual form-based procedures for fee-based accounts, annuity programs, or other documents into a fully digital experience, it ensures efficiency and user-friendliness. Cy's platform eliminates Not In Good Order (NIGO) issues, allowing for the rapid opening of accounts—transforming a process that once took hours into one that takes minutes. Its digital onboarding system efficiently gathers necessary documents into a DocuSign package for client signatures, which is then electronically forwarded to the custodian, expediting the account setup. The platform’s unified access point further streamlines operations, reduces redundancy, and guarantees the accuracy of data across documents.
Moreover, Cy introduces a cutting-edge Machine Learning Portfolio Optimization Engine that customizes portfolio optimization based on an investor's loss tolerance and return objectives. This optimized model portfolio platform provides financial advisors with an unparalleled portfolio modeling dashboard, underpinned by WBI's quantitative technology. This enables advisors to quickly create tailored portfolios for clients and institutions, freeing up more time for client interaction and business growth.
Steve Johansson, Managing Director of FinTech Breakthrough, highlighted the transformative impact of CyborgTech and the Cy Platform, stating, "Through innovation, CyborgTech with its Cy Platform redefines the investment and onboarding process for clients with unmatched efficiency and precision. By automating financial documentation, Cy significantly reduces the time needed for data entry and corrections. Furthermore, it addresses and eliminates the traditional 'Not In Good Order' errors, enhancing operational efficiency, cutting costs, and enabling advisors to offer more impactful advice and forge stronger client relationships."
The FinTech Breakthrough Awards serve as a premier platform acknowledging FinTech innovators and leaders globally across various categories including Digital Banking, Personal Finance, Lending, Payments, Investments, and more.
CyborgTech's CEO, Matt Schreiber, expressed profound gratitude for the award, stating, "It is a great honor to be recognized with the ‘Wealth Management Innovation Award’. CyborgTech's commitment to pioneering technology and innovation is unwavering. This accolade underscores Cy's leading role in the advancement of wealth and investment technology, and showcases our dedication to excellence and innovative prowess through the enhanced Digital Onboarding and Optimization Engine.”
