The Financial Times and PWM Wealth Tech Awards provide visibility to technological innovation in the wealth management sector with their annual awards. The awards highlight companies and products that use technology to enhance client experience, streamline operations, and improve investment outcomes. A jury panel of experts in wealth management, technology, and finance evaluates the entries. 

At Van Lanschot Kempen, a personal client approach is paramount. To achieve this, an advanced digital platform has been developed that enables private bankers and relationship managers to serve clients in a highly personalised manner. This ensures that every interaction with the client is meaningful and fully tailored to their individual needs. 

The platform forms the foundation of our hyper-personalised service and integrates data-driven insights with workflow management. This enhances the capabilities of private bankers and automates certain tasks, allowing them to focus on delivering exceptional service. And this gives our clients time for what truly matters to them, more time for family, business, or personal matters.
