Plumb Wins Two WealthTech Americas Awards – And Why This Matters

Written by

 

Plumb has been recognized at The Second Annual WealthBriefing WealthTech Americas Awards 2023 for two of our best-in-class – and best-in-industry – services:

  • Bill Pay
  • Payment Reconciliation Services

We’ve been extremely honored to have our services recognized across a variety of respected and established Family Office and Wealth Management publications and media firms. The acknowledgement of our superior services by the WealthBriefing Awards is especially meaningful as explained by ClearView Financial Media’s CEO, and Publisher of WealthBriefing, Stephen Harris:

“These awards were independently and expertly judged solely on the basis of entrants’ submissions and their response to a number of specific questions, which were answered by focusing on the client experience rather than purely quantitative performance metrics… These awards recognise the very best operators in  Americas’ wealth management, with ‘independence’, ‘integrity’ and ‘genuine insight’ the watchwords of the judging process – such that the awards truly reflect excellence in Americas’ wealth management.”

Why This Matters (or, Don’t Just Take Our Word For It)

Winning awards from established, longstanding publications like ClearView Financial Media is additional validation that we are who we say we are: the best service provider in the high-net-worth and family office bill payment space.

All submissions were reviewed by a panel of 15 independent family office and wealth management industry experts, and these wealth tech authorities have deemed that Plumb’s services and client support goes above and beyond what others in the field offer.

Here’s what they had to say about Plumb:

“It was the winner’s focus on providing clients with white glove, high touch service and emphasis on innovation that impressed, along with significant growth in department size, client size, and revenue. Plumb is a very worthy winner!”

What’s Next?

We are not ones to rest on our laurels. While we are grateful for the recognition, we are never satisfied with the status quo. We plan to continue to focus on our high-touch client service and continue to innovate in the bill pay field. Decades in, and we are as excited about our future as ever.

Plumb Bill Pay Implements a Check Fraud Solution with Cheque-Guard

Written by

The Cheque Guard Suite of Products is the Industry-Leading Answer to Combating Check Fraud.

Plumb Bill Pay, a premier back-office accounting, financial reporting and bill pay firm for family offices and the high-net-worth, is pleased to announce a partnership with Cheque Guard and their check fraud detection tools and software. The combination of Plumb Bill Pay’s secure cloud infrastructure with state-of-the-art Barracuda Spam Firewall and Cheque Guard’s top-rated check printing security creates a robust defense to protecting client’s financial data.

“As a preferred outsourced bill pay vendor for many top multi-family offices, financial institutions and high-net-worth families, our security concerns around check fraud are a high priority,’ said Anneke Stender, Executive Vice President of Plumb Bill Pay. “After evaluating numerous solutions, we are confident that Cheque Guard is the leader in the industry with their innovative suite of products,” she said.

The Cheque Guard system replaces the need for Plumb Bill Pay to purchase individual checks from financial institutions for clients. Instead, specific account information is imported onto blank checks made with an image-survivable seal that encrypts the data into a barcode. The product is ChequeSeal, a next generation of Positive Pay that requires no issue file or transmission. The ChequeSeal is decrypted and verified at the bank to ensure authenticity of the check.

“Check fraud is the biggest form of payment fraud in the world, and we fully understand the magnitude of the issue,” said Emil Ramzy, President of Cheque Guard. “There is great synergy with the Plumb Bill Pay team and we are happy to partner with them and provide peace of mind that their check writing solutions are safe and secure,” he said.

Plumb Bill Pay offers a range of services, including bill payment, recordkeeping, income and expense tracking, cash flow reporting, vendor management and mail services. These solutions are customizable for every client depending on the need and complexity of their personal financial life.

“Security is at the forefront of Plumb Bill Pay, and we take a proactive approach to ensuring that customer data is not compromised,” said Robert Scherer, President of Plumb. “Cheque Guard gives us the extra layer of protection against the potential vulnerabilities of check fraud,” he said.

Plumb Bill Pay uses a proprietary task management system to facilitate and track bill pay management.  It is hosted on a cloud infrastructure with bank-level security measures and VPN connection. Bills are paid on time, monitored for accuracy and reconciled by a dedicated team. This includes accounting experts who specialize in serving the needs of the high-net-worth.

About Plumb Bill Pay:

For over two decades, Plumb has been helping high-net-worth families, their businesses, and family offices achieve greater levels of personal freedom by handling their personal reporting and bill pay needs.

Plumb Bill Pay works with clients nationwide with office locations in Southern California: 1227 Prospect Street, Suite 200, La Jolla, CA 92037 and New York City: 747 Third Avenue, Suite 200, New York, NY 10017  

About Cheque-Guard:

Founded in 1991, Cheque Guard Inc. provides small to medium-size businesses and financial institutions with check fraud solutions, including ChequeSeal™ and ChequeSuite™. These software products allow businesses to integrate and deploy secure, controlled check printing and electronic payments for the Automated Clearing House (ACH), while creating a Positive Pay file for the bank as the checks are printed by the customer.

How to help eliminate check fraud with the protection of Cheque-Guard

This is the next generation of Positive Pay that requires no issue file and no file transmission.  The secure seal by ChequeSeal encrypts the check data into the barcode. When the check enters the banking system, an instant verification goes into action. Before it is paid, ChequeSeal references the encrypted information for comparison and determines the check’s authenticity.  For more information, click here.

 

Are you ready to gain financial peace of mind knowing that your bills are being paid on time, reviewed for accuracy and detected from check fraud?
