Origo Asset Migration:
Data integration that makes
asset transfers easier

Transferring client assets en masse between platforms can be time-consuming, especially when rekeying client data.

That’s why we’re proud to be the first platform to integrate with Origo Asset Migration (OAM), developed in partnership with Origo as their launch partner.

This innovative solution connects advice firms directly to our platform, streamlining the capture, cleansing and transfer of client data. OAM ensures data accuracy and compatibility, reducing errors and eliminating manual re‑work to accelerate transfers. It also enhances workflow through built‑in audit and tracking features that improve reporting, transparency, and communication.

We are working closely with Origo, gathering adviser feedback that will steer the ongoing development of this solution.

Speak to your Business Development Manager to find out more about our Asset Transfer Service and how it integrates with OAM. Or discover the full benefits on Origo’s website.

“The Asset Transfer Service was great, the planning and support made everything straightforward, and the Platform now helps me work more efficiently and deliver better value for my clients.”
