What's Request Centre?

Adviser Online's Request Centre is a faster and more secure way to upload completed forms and track the progress of requests you've submitted to us.  

Once completed forms are uploaded and you’ve submitted the request, you’ll see an on-screen confirmation and the estimated completion time. You’ll also be able to track the status of each request online, and see if we need further information from you.
 

Tips for using Request Centre

  • Requests can be submitted through Request Centre for both Cash and Wrap clients.
  • You'll be able to see and action outstanding requirements for all accounts that you have access to. See tips for providing further information.
  • You can find all our forms via the Tools side-navigation menu in Adviser Online. To help us complete your request as quickly as possible, before you upload the form online please ensure:
    • all mandatory fields are completed and all pages of the form are uploaded at the same time
    • the form is signed per account operating instructions (no electronic signatures)
    • there is available cash for any withdrawal requests
    • if there have been any changes on a form while being completed, that your client has signed in full next to these changes.
  • If you don't have access to the client's account, select 'Third party authority' and then choose 'Add third party with no prior client access' before submitting a request.

How long does it take to process a request?

What happens when further information is required?

If we need further information to process the request, the status in Request Centre will update to say: 

For action: Adviser

If we need additional information or documents from you to process the request, we’ll contact you (generally within the day, depending on submission time) to request additional information.

You don’t need to find the reference number to accompany the documentation – all the details are available via Request Centre and additional documents can be uploaded through Request Centre.

To upload additional documents for a request:

  1. Navigate to Request Centre and expand the request where additional documents have been requested 
  2. Select the ‘Pending task’ tab
  3. Select the appropriate files from your computer to upload or drag and drop the file
  4. Provide clarification notes if required
  5. Select Submit.
Tips for providing further information

You can only upload additional information when a case is in 'For Action: Adviser'. Please ensure you provide the additional information within the timeframe provided. If the request is not in 'For action: Adviser' and you want to provide additional documents, reach out to us via chat.

Ensure notes added to the clarification field are relevant to the outstanding requirements. The clarification field should not be used to ask questions about the outstanding requirements. If you need assistance, you can initiate a chat for a request by selecting the ‘Chat about this’ option in the Actions menu. 

  • If you have multipled requirements outstanding, please ensure you attach all outstanding documents or information before submitting. If you only action some outstanding items, your case will move to 'In progress' and we'll need to reissue the remaining outstanding requirements.
  • Once you’ve submitted all additional documents or provided information, the status of the request will update to ‘In Progress’ as we review and continue to process your instructions. You’ll be able to view any of the documents you’ve uploaded via Request Centre.

For action: Client

If we need further information from your client to process the request, the status in Request Centre will update to say ‘For action: Client’.

To see the requirements outstanding from your client:

  1. Navigate to Request Centre and expand the request where additional documents have been requested from your client
  2. Select the ‘Pending task’ tab.

Please get in contact with your client to remind and assist them with providing these documents to us.

What types of requests can't I see in Request Centre?

While most requests are visible in Request Centre, we'll continue to communicate to you through email for: 

  • fraud-related cases
  • AML remediations
  • early release of super requests.

Deceased estate cases have limited visibility in Request Centre. You won't be able to view any oustsanding requirements and you'll continue to receive emails from your Estates team.

Additionally, some common reasons you might not be able to see your request in Request Centre are:

  • Requests submitted via 'Other': There may take some time to become available for tracking.
  • Account applications that have not been submitted or approved yet: Account applications are only visible in Request Centre once they have been submitted and approved by your client. Prior to this, they can be found by navigating to ‘Pending applications’ via ‘Applications’ in the side-navigation menu.
  • Filtering criteria: Your request may not appear if it does not fall within the filtering criteria you've applied

What’s the easiest way to manage my requests?

You can easily manage your requests in Request Centre using the filters or search bar to find a specific ID, account or request type.
