More precisely, according to the official press release, the regtech and onboarding provider will facilitate the automation of several manual steps for the management solutions company, including digital identity verification and connectivity into State Street, Ironbark’s main registry provider. Representatives from Ironbark emphasised in the official press release that, via this partnership with Lab Group, the company strives to provide its clients with a digital onboarding solution that addresses the initial application process. Consequently, Ironbark’s clients are expected to be provided with an optimised sign-up process, both for direct and adviser-led prospects.
