Financial Advisor–Client Video Consultations
Potential Solution
A financial advisory platform powered by Vonage Video API integrates secure, high-quality video directly into existing financial workflows.
At a high level,
- Session access and roles: Create a session on your server and issue tokens per participant with the appropriate role and an expiration time. Roles determine what a participant can do in the session.
- Client experience: Use the Vonage Video client SDKs to connect, publish, and subscribe within your application. For a web-based multiparty conferencing UI, Vonage Video Express is a JavaScript library that works on top of OpenTok.js. See the Video Express Developer Guide.
- Optional capabilities: Implement recording and playback, post-call transcription, live captions, screen sharing, server-side session monitoring, and in-session data messaging.
Key Features
To meet rising client expectations, firms need secure, integrated video built directly into advisory workflows.
- Premium, real-time advisory sessions: Deliver high-quality, low-latency video for portfolio reviews, financial planning discussions, document walkthroughs, and investor education.
- Integrated and collaborative workflows: Support one-to-one and multi-party meetings (including partners, family members, and legal or tax professionals) directly within advisor dashboards and tools, without external meeting apps.
- Secure, compliant, and scalable delivery: Provide encrypted communications, access controls, and privacy protections aligned with regulatory needs, while supporting clients across mobile, tablet, and desktop for both boutique firms and large advisory networks.
Vonage enables financial institutions to deliver a modern advisory experience that is reliable, secure, and client-centric.
