MyWealth Portal | October 2020 Updates

By in Free Resources, Videos

Hi folks!

I love what I do, and especially on days when I come bearing gifts.

I feel like Tim Cook from Apple, when he gets to announce their latest product offerings like the recent release of the new iPhone 12 and the Homepod Mini.

Today I get to tell you about the latest three new features we have added to our MyWealth Portal.

  1. MoneySTRETCH – a cool inbuilt application within our platform that allows you to run cashflow scenarios to work out how long your money will last you
  2. Auto Complete Address feature – no one likes filling in data step by step, so this new feature takes that friction out of this process
  3. Knowledge Centre – “This is BIG”, we now have an inbuilt education playground featuring all our important learning content, from tutorial videos to get the best out of your MyWealth Portal and MoneySMARTS, to access to our podcasts, how to videos, books and much more

Check out the update release video above as well as the Demo video to MoneySTRETCH below.

And of course, you can log in to MyWealth Portal here to check them out!

Our plan is to make the MyWealth Portal your universal home for all things, Property, Finance, Money Management and Wealth Building, to help you build your wealthier tomorrows.

We are already hard at work on the next lot of tools and features to be released soon, and if you have any ideas of what you’d like us to build inside the MyWealth Portal, we want to know about it! Just send them in via the Help Desk here >>

Until next time, remember Knowledge is Empowering, but only if you act on it.

Warmest Regards,

Ben K
