The transformational role of AI in the wealth tech space continues to prompt collaborations from industry players seeking early adopter advantage.
Broadridge Financial Solutions has unveiled a strategic partnership and minority investment in Uptiq, a rising AI platform dedicated to streamlining financial services. The collaboration integrates Uptiq’s technology into Broadridge’s Wealth Lending Network, offering financial advisors and banks access to turnkey, AI-powered tools that automate securities‑based lending workflows, provide enriched insights, and enhance client outcomes.
The partnership will enable advisors to more seamlessly source and compare loan options, while automating previously manual tasks such as referral submission, loan processing, and covenant tracking.
“This strategic partnership helps modernize wealth management, addressing the growing demand for artificial intelligence in financial services, as well as a need to develop a better wealth lending process that is efficient, compliant and personalized,” said Mike Alexander, President of Wealth Management at Broadridge. “With Uptiq's AI‑powered tools and Broadridge's Wealth Lending Network, we are enabling advisors to deliver smarter lending recommendations, save time, and ultimately help their clients access the liquidity needed to achieve their financial goals. Our investment demonstrates our commitment to driving innovation in the wealth lending ecosystem.”
Snehal Fulzele, Founder and CEO of Uptiq, said that his company’s solution was purpose‑built to remove the heavy lifting from lending.
“Our AI‑driven platform surfaces the most relevant loan options, actively guiding advisors so they can focus on serving clients instead of wrestling with process complexities,” he says. “By connecting directly with Broadridge's Wealth Lending Network banks, we're making it easier than ever to provide securities‑based lending as a compelling and compliant liquidity solution.”
Broadridge’s investment underscores a shared vision of combining advanced AI with robust infrastructure to transform wealth lending.
