When we created Provider Lookup, we knew that advisers paraplanners and administrators needed better solutions to handle Letters of Authority. The cumbersome LOA process, still largely manual and often requiring wet signatures, has consistently caused delays, increased costs, and frustration for advisers and their clients. In an interview with FT Adviser, Plus Group’s co-founder Scott Daniels shared how Provider Lookup, developed in collaboration with Origo and NextGen Planners, is tackling these persistent issues. With accurate and regularly updated provider contact details instantly available, advisers can bypass the slow, manual searching and guessing games that have plagued LOA processing for decades. Since its launch, Provider Lookup has grown rapidly, attracting over 1,200 active advisers. Notably, 70% have integrated our intuitive Chrome extension into their workflows, highlighting just how valuable the service has become. Scott also stressed that real, permanent change will require action from providers themselves. Until then, Provider Lookup will continue making advisers' lives easier by removing one big hassle from their daily routines.

In a world of instant communication and digital solutions, financial advisers still face cumbersome, outdated processes when dealing with Letters of Authority (LOAs). Scott Daniels from Plus Group highlighted this ongoing frustration in a recent conversation with FT Adviser, pointing out that advisers routinely encounter delays due to legacy systems, manual processing, and outdated verification methods like wet signatures. That’s why Plus Group ™ Group created Provider Lookup, a free-to-use database developed alongside Origo and NextGen Planners. The goal was straightforward: streamline advisers' workflows by making provider information instantly accessible, reliable, and easy to use. Since its launch, over 1,200 advisers have turned to Provider Lookup, significantly improving the efficiency of their LOA submissions. The popularity of the Chrome extension, adopted by 70% of users, underscores the demand for such practical solutions. Yet, as Scott notes, the industry's deeper issues persist, providers must step up and modernise their internal systems and processes. Until providers fully digitise and remove the need for outdated verification methods, tools like Provider Lookup will remain essential to managing day-to-day adviser frustrations.
