Bravura solidifies NZ presence
Specialist financial services platform provider Bravura Solutions has solidified its presence in the New Zealand market, announcing this week that it had surpassed one million KiwiSaver members supported on its wealth management platforms.
According to Bravura chief operating officer Jason Tong, the majority of KiwiSaver accounts are now administered on Bravura platforms.
He said he believed this stood as testimony to the quality of the software and its depth of functionality.
KiwiSaver was introduced by the New Zealand government in 2007 as a national workplace savings scheme designed to encourage New Zealanders to save for their retirement. Today KiwiSaver has a total member base of 1.8 million New Zealanders.
