 [Step-by-Step Instructions] [How to Use Your Vault Client]

What is Your Vault?

Your Vault is a comprehensive digital filing cabinet designed with you in mind; it prioritises security, ensuring that essential financial, life, and legacy documents are securely stored. This secure and convenient space eliminates the need for email attachments, reducing the risk of phishing attacks. You can upload crucial files, such as retirement plans, legal papers, and estate planning documents. You also have the flexibility to selectively grant access to your documents with your partner, ensuring privacy when sharing sensitive information. Your adviser can reciprocate by uploading and sharing relevant documents with household members via Your Vault. Additionally, your adviser can create tasks to help manage your document sharing efficiently.
