NextWealth analysis
Transact is famous for good service but those service levels have slipped slightly but show signs of improving. Advisers still praise the phone support but it now ranks in the upper middle of the pack for support. They have made strides to reduce paper and we recognised them as NextWealth Digital Process Champion. When we ask advisers what they want from a platform, the top response is usually βthat it worksβ and Transact usually does.
Transact tends to be more expensive for smaller accounts but the platform continues to reduce charges as it grows and scales. The firm acquired Curo, owners of the back-office system, Time4Advice. We look forward to further integrations between the back office system and platform to address some of the integration issues that plague advice businesses.
Financial advisers commenting on the platform told us the tech is difficult to use but the support compensates for shortcomings.
βI find the platform and tech very confusing. Difficult to use and dated. Support which is often needed is good.β
βTransact platform is very good but not exactly intuitive. You have to ask someone to guide you, mind you they are very willing and good guides.β
Competitively priced but behind the curve in technology terms.β
