Overview

NewRiver's Total E-Consent SolutionSM includes an online interface for financial services firms to collect consent information from their investors for electronic delivery of account statements, trade confirmations, tax documents, prospectuses, shareholder reports, and other legally required documents. Our turnkey solution allows you to quickly and easily implement electronic communications, lowering compliance communication costs and offering greater convenience to investors who increasingly prefer to receive their investment documents online.

NewRiver's Total E-Consent solution is a patent-protected process to gather, store, and manage electronic consent for the electronic transmittal of financial disclosure documents. And, as the inventor of the industry's first electronic prospectus database (Prospectus Express ®), only NewRiver has the combination of compliance expertise, technological savvy, and patented processes to offer a truly compliant, secure, and scalable solution.

We also offer another industry first the NewRiver 10% Consent program guarantees at least 10% consent opt-in in Year 1* when you leverage our consent marketing workshop and Prospectus Express and Total E-Consent Solution platform. With 10% consent, you'll achieve significant return on your e-delivery investment - savings that will grow exponentially as e-consent adoption increases across your customer base in Years 2 and beyond.

Total E-Consent Solution supports the entire workflow required to market, collect, store, and update investors' document delivery preferences:

Hosted Website A website branded to client specifications that displays required consent disclosure information and enables investors to view and change their document delivery preferences.
E-Confirmations A client-branded email is sent to each investor that has consented to confirm that a valid email address has been provided, and that the investor is able to access and view documents in the client-specified format (e.g., HTML, PDF, etc.).
Consent Database All investor consent information is stored in NewRiver's proprietary electronic database. This database can be supplemented with client-supplied consent information and can update consent information within a client's internal systems.

Total E-Consent Solution Workflow:  A Transparent, Cost-Effective, Convenient Process

After consenting to e-delivery, investors go to your branded website to conduct financial transactions online and receive any required disclosure documents via email. The end result is convenience for your investors and cost savings for your firm.

Who's It For?

E-SIGN (Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, enacted 6/30/2000), requires businesses to obtain electronic consent or confirmation from consumers before sending legally required disclosure documents electronically (in lieu of the traditional "hard copy" format). Also, the consent must be obtained in a manner that reasonably demonstrates that the consumer can access information in the electronic form that will be used. NewRiver's patented process meets this requirement for both HTML and PDF documents.

Broker/dealers, individual variable annuity providers, and retirement plan providers offering e-delivery services are all subject to E-SIGN requirements, as well as industry regulations. Consent Express is an optimal solution for these financial services firms.
