NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Say™, a technology company offering new tools for shareholder voting and engagement, today announced a partnership with DriveWealth, a fintech company providing brokers, digital advisors, and mobile financial services companies seamless access to the U.S. securities market.
Shareholders have the opportunity to make history though frictionless, open communication and access to Say’s voting technology. The partnership, comprised of Say’s API-based, scalable, and secure proxy and shareholder communications tools, and DriveWealth’s advanced digital brokerage platform, will provide brokers and advisors that use DriveWealth a new client engagement opportunity. DriveWealth’s customers will be given early access to Say’s forthcoming shareholder engagement tools.
“DriveWealth has used technology to modernize the legacy brokerage model, increasing efficiency and reducing costs feature by feature across the investing lifecycle,” said Robert Cortright, CEO of DriveWealth. “The investor communications and proxy voting system seemed impervious to innovation until we saw what Say was building. The future potential of our long-term partnership is what’s most exciting to us.”
“Investors on DriveWealth-based platforms can do almost everything with a simple swipe on their phone,” said Jeff Cruttenden, Co-Founder and CEO of Say. “I understand the frustration that the proxy voting system creates with its heavy reliance on paper, postage, and decades-old technologies. It’s a stark contrast and a massive opportunity for innovation—and this is just the beginning.”
“We expect people will prefer to keep their wealth where they have Say™,” added Cruttenden.
Brokers and custodians who want to give their customers Say™ should contact partners@say.com. Brokers, advisors, and mobile financial services companies who want access to DriveWealth’s proprietary investment platform and modern suite of APIs, including Say™, should contact Mconnor@drivewealth.com.
