Axiom News
We’re excited to announce that Axiom will soon introduce a new client portal, powered by Black Diamond.
This platform will allow you to easily view a snapshot of all your accounts, even linking ones not held at Axiom. It also offers many extra features like a document vault to securely store and share sensitive financial and legal documents, and a balance sheet page with a breakdown of your net worth by assets and liabilities. An additional convenience is that you’ll be able to access your information from any device, including a mobile app. We’ll be contacting you shortly via email to share further details about this new way to track all your finances.
