Aachen, May 2020 - The internationally active innovation service provider Zühlke and the globally operating software provider for digital services in the field of wealth management and investment advisory, aixigo, have decided on a strategic partnership.
The partnership between Zühlke and aixigo translates into joined forces for banks and financial service providers in a disruptive environment. Zühlke brings consulting, implementation and technology experience from numerous successful projects in banking and finance. aixigo, in turn, with its API-based high-performance Wealth Management Platform, provides the foundation for new digital advisory experiences in investment advice and wealth management.

Vontobel is the first Swiss financial institution to offer its customers the investment expertise of a globally active wealth manager in digital form with Vontobel Volt®.
