How to add connections?

Add an Advisor connection in the eMoney application.

An advisor connection is a link to a financial institution that requires the advisor’s credentials to establish it. It will allow you to pull in the accounts under your management from that specific financial institution.

To add an Advisor connection, follow the steps below:

  • Go to Connections on your navigation bar.
  • Click Add Connection and select Advisor Managed.
  • Enter the institution name and select from the list of available connections.
