Raymond James recognized for innovative technology for eighth consecutive year

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Raymond James was recognized with the Technology Innovation Award for the eighth consecutive year by the Bank Insurance & Securities Association (BISA). This year, the firm was recognized for its enhanced advisor texting capabilities within its award-winning Advisor Mobile application.

BISA’s Technology Innovation Award recognizes firms that are leading the advancement of the financial service industry’s products, services and platforms through innovative technology. This award highlights companies for their commitment to advancements in technology-based solutions for the industry.

Advisor Mobile is a comprehensive application that allows advisors to access client and account information on the go. The app’s enhanced, fully compliant advisor texting capabilities are an extension of the intuitive, easy-to-use and integrated technology Raymond James offers advisors.

“We are honored to be recognized by BISA for excellence in technology innovation, now for the eighth year in a row,” said Tim Killgoar, senior vice president and head of Raymond James Financial Institutions Division. “We remain committed to providing affiliated bank and credit union advisors innovative technology that aids them in providing the best client service possible, and we are proud to offer our award-winning Advisor Mobile application and texting capabilities as a part of their technology toolkit.”

“Our goal behind Advisor Mobile and its texting capabilities is to enable advisors to be more efficient in day-to-day communication with existing and prospective clients,” said Vin Campagnoli, chief information officer at Raymond James. “We continue to enhance our technology based on the mind of our advisors, and are pleased to offer them sophisticated, fully integrated, flexible technology to help them strengthen relationships with clients and grow their businesses.”
