Objectway’s Client Onboarding solution, which is part of the WealthTech Suite, will replace KBC Securities Services’ manual data input system currently in use and ultimately improve processing throughput times and data quality.

With this development, managing and handling paper contracts and related documents is set to become a thing of the past.
