Getting started
"There are significant time savings”
We had no trouble pulling through the info... the information it had for the client was perfect. We loved the fact that direct debit is there, we didn't need to go in and out of everything. There are significant time savings.

“This makes FirstChoice a no brainer”
The best way to reduce risk of mistakes is to remove human interaction with data. It’s really easy to see validation as it highlights missing fields. The pre-filled documentation and ease of downloading/uploading what you need was a nice touch. It looks like FirstChoice is getting to be a step ahead.

“It's all done for you”
The integration takes out so much time, like checking the TFN, checking this, checking that. Making mistakes by doing it manually can be embarrassing when you need to ask the client to resign documents. It holds up the process and is costly. FirstChoice client origination is now so much easier than competitor solutions.
