Emails from “Brite Advisors Identification” detail how investors can confirm their identities. Brite Advisors Identity Verification is the first step to getting updated beneficiary valuations. Beneficiaries must go through this process as it will allow them to complete a critical step in getting detailed valuation information on their pension or investment account. We strongly advise all beneficiaries to complete this step as soon as possible to avoid delays in accessing crucial financial information and the eventual distribution of your assets.
Identification for Brite Advisors clients
Under the powers provided to the Receivers under the September 2024 Orders, they are permitted to perform an Identity Proofing process on each Beneficiary. GBG Global has been engaged in performing this service. GB Group plc (LSE: GBG), also known as GBG, is a global leader in digital identity verification, fraud prevention and location data intelligence. It was founded in 1989 to help the world’s largest organisations onboard customers fast, simply and compliantly and mitigate the risk of fraud. They are listed on the London Stock Exchange with a market value of over £700m. So, they are an ideal firm for the receivers to select.
Why is Completing Identity Proofing Essential?
Identity Proofing is a process that checks that you are the person who should receive the information on your Brite Platform investment account by confirming who you are. The Recievers need to get the identity of the rightful beneficiaries so they can share information on your account (including your Valuation Notice). Without doing the identification checks, getting critical information about your pension (or other investments) can be delayed.
Our advice to recipients of the Brite Email
Edale’s Recommendations when you receive the Brite Identification email:
- Complete the identification portal: Complete the Identity Proofing through the GBG portal. There will be an email from the receivers, McGrathnicol, which should take you to a page that looks like the below.
- Quality photos and scans: Check uploaded images are high quality and there is no glare. Make sure the name you enter into the site matches the name on your ID. If there is a problem with the quality of the submission its likely it will cause a delay to your identification being confirmed.
- Don’t Delay: The sooner you complete the steps above, the easier you’ve made your task to get a Valuation Notice when the Reciever releases this information. Procrastinating in completing these steps will keep you from accessing key financial information.
