DCube for SIPPs

 
 

With drawdown being such a long process, it can be difficult to move on to the next task or close the case because one request takes a while to complete, let alone scale up your business.

Imagine if scaling up your business is possible because you’re able to offer your service to a higher number of customers.

Imagine if your drawdown journey is excellent and not emotionally draining for your customers, while at that, they understand everything communicated to them.

Imagine celebrating every time you get a drawdown request.

Let us introduce you to DCube, making all of the above possible at a low cost.

DCube provides all the technology SIPP providers need to operate Drawdown products. It really is ‘drawdown in a box’.

SIPP providers have operated comprehensive drawdown offerings for some time, particularly catering for high net worth clients, but things have changed.

 Drawdown is becoming a mass-market offering and there is downward pressure on fees. DCube specialises in automating complicated drawdown processes, bringing the processes completely online, and catering for advisers and end customers.

DCube can help SIPPs greatly improve the customer experience, whilst significantly saving administration costs. DCube is an end-to-end solution, offering planning, member view, withdrawal setup, and administration. Alternatively, you can take any of the individual modules to fit into your existing processes.
