eMoney Updates Q2 2026

Curved Image

When onboarding is simpler, planning moves faster. This month’s releases are another step forward in building a more flexible, efficient planning platform designed around how you actually work. With new ways to gather client data before plan delivery and upload new clients at scale, these updates focus on reducing manual work and giving you greater control over timing and deliver, so you can serve more clients with confidence and keep planning moving forward.

Coming in May

April Updates

Remind me of all recent updates from last quarter!


Gather Client Data Without Enabling the Portal

Run onboarding your way by collecting the financial data you need first, without giving clients access to the full Client Portal before it fits your relationship or workflow. By introducing a natural pause between data collection and plan delivery, you have time to review, validate, and build recommendations before clients see results, supporting a more intentional, confidence‑driven planning experience.

This update reflects our vision to help advisors create more space to build meaningful client relationships, reduce manual work, and serve more clients in less time.

Why This Matters to You

  • Reduce friction early in the relationship while protecting clients from seeing incomplete or unreviewed plan outputs
  • Eliminate manual steps like granting and revoking portal access to control visibility
  • Build trust and confidence by reviewing and validating client data before introducing recommendations or results

What’s New

You can now gather financial data without immediately granting Client Portal access, creating a more flexible onboarding experience that fits your workflow and client relationships.

How It Works

  • Start onboarding with the right level of engagement by selecting Onboarding Only or another access option from the client invitation flow.
  • Collect financial information without early portal access.
  • Review progress, validate submitted data, and build recommendations before sharing plan results.
  • Enable Client Portal access later from the same client management area, introducing plan insights when the timing is right.

Use This When…

You want to gather financial data without immediately exposing clients to plan results, such as during an initial planning engagement. It also fits naturally into ongoing workflows like annual reviews, where clients can update information while you maintain control over timing, review, and plan delivery.

Put This Feature Into Action!

For your next new planning client, select Onboarding Only to gather data without portal access, then enable the Client Portal once recommendations are ready to share.

Save Time Adding Clients with Bulk Client Upload

When onboarding multiple clients, manual client creation can slow down workflows and delay meaningful planning work. Even small setup tasks add up at scale. Bulk Client Upload removes that friction by allowing advisors to create multiple client profiles at once, streamlining the process for both new and existing practices.

This update supports our mission to make day‑to‑day work more efficient and less time‑consuming by streamlining onboarding so you can grow your business without added operational overhead.

Why This Matters to You

  • Save hours during onboarding by adding multiple clients at once
  • Reduce setup friction for new firms and growing practices

What’s New

Instead of adding clients one by one, you can now upload a CSV file with up to 1,000 clients, then review and approve them before they’re added to your client list.

How It Works

  1. Anywhere you can add a client, select Import from CSV
  2. Download the provided template and add client details:
    • First Name (required)
    • Last Name (required)
    • Email
    • Phone Number
  3. Upload the CSV and click Import Clients
  4. Review all entries on the new Pending Clients page
  5. Approve, edit, or delete clients individually, or Approve All/Delete All in bulk

Use This When…

You’re adding a group of new clients, whether you’re a new firm getting started or growing an existing practice, so you can build client profiles all at once instead of entering each client manually.

Put This Feature into Action!

The next time you add clients, choose Import from CSV to streamline onboarding and get your firm up and running faster.

Show Retirement Income Estimates Aligned with Today’s Annuity Assumptions

When you’re helping clients evaluate guaranteed income, small differences in assumptions can have a meaningful impact on how a strategy plays out over the course of their retirement. That’s why you need annuitization projections that mirror how today’s annuity products are priced, structured, and used in real retirement income planning. Updated assumptions help ensure projections reflect current market conditions and modern longevity trends.

This update is part of our ongoing effort to ensure the assumptions and data used in eMoney align with current industry standards, regulations, and how planning is actually done today.

Why This Matters to You

  • More relevant projections: Updated assumptions create more realistic income estimates for retirement planning conversations.
  • Higher expected payouts: You may see higher projected income due to the net effect of these updates.
  • Small impact on plans: Only clients who plan to annuitize a deferred annuity in the future will see changes from this update. Fewer than three percent of clients fall into this group, and for most of them, the effect on overall plan results will be minimal.

What’s New

  • An updated mortality table moving from 2000 to 2012 data, improving annuity income projections by better reflecting modern life expectancy
  • A reduction in the default management fee from 5% to 2.5%, aligning assumptions that were set over 20 years ago with current market research and what clients typically pay today

Use This When…

You’re showing a client how much income an annuity might provide in retirement. For example, when helping a client nearing retirement understand what their deferred annuity could pay out, these updated assumptions give you a more realistic estimate based on today’s fees, life expectancy, and longer‑term investment environment.

Aggregation Update: A More Complete Client Financial Picture

Clear advice depends on seeing the whole picture without gaps, guesswork, or downtime—and maintaining that clarity should scale as client complexity grows. Throughout 2025, eMoney aggregation continued to scale with that goal in mind, expanding coverage while strengthening direct connections that support a consistent, up‑to‑date view of client finances. Here are the highlights.

  • Expanded coverage of the institutions clients use most: 288 new sources added in 2025, including:
    • Valon Mortgage
    • Goldman Sachs – Private Bank Select (GS Select)
    • Rocket Mortgage (including Mr. Cooper)
    • Coinbase
    • Chime Financial
    • USAA
    • Cetera Adviceworks
    • MassMutual A360°
    • Computershare
  • Greater visibility across growing client complexity: Aggregation scaled to 40M accounts refreshed daily, representing 25 percent year‑over‑year growth, supporting a more complete view as client financial lives continued to evolve.
  • More dependable data through direct connections: Ninety percent of aggregated accounts now flow through direct feeds, supporting more accurate balances, smoother refreshes, and fewer interruptions in day-to-day planning workflows.
  • Industry leadership recognized: Named Best Aggregation Service at the 2025 Wealthie Awards and ranked #1 in advisor market share for aggregation in the 2026 T3 Advisor Software Survey.

Together, the investments made in 2025 lay the foundation for continued aggregation expansion, helping you maintain a clear, reliable view of client finances as they grow in complexity and scale into 2026.
