Flexible options

Support a variety of transfer types

We facilitate many types of asset transfer to suit your different investors and depending on your regulatory set-up.

  • Cash or in specie

    Transfer portfolios as cash or keep them invested in the market, all while remaining within their tax wrapper

  • Full or partial

    Transfer an entire portfolio, or just a portion

  • Single or bulk

    Handle individual client instructions, or move multiple client portfolios in one go (where applicable)

  • API or UI

    Instruct transfers through our API or our off-the-shelf professional portal

Electronic transfers

Move money in days, not months

Electronic transfers instructed through Seccl are exactly that: electronic. No manual processing, zero delay – not a single bit of human involvement (from our side, at least…) That’s why electronic transfers currently take, on average, between 5 to 10 days depending on their complexity.

Setting the standard for transfers in…and out. We’re not only focused on transfers in – we’re establishing the standard for transfers out too, setting the benchmark for how investors should be treated when they join us, or move on

Manual transfers

Don’t let old-school providers grind things to a halt

Some providers still rely on paper or manual steps before releasing funds. Our streamlined manual transfer journey automates as much as possible – helping you get it right first time and stay informed every step of the way.

We’ve designed it to be as efficient as our electronic process, with powerful features that minimise friction:

  • Surface what’s needed up front.
    Get instant visibility of required documents –and validation hints – so everything can be submitted in one go, with fewer errors and delays.
  • Handle rejections with clarity.
    Around 30% of industry transfer requests are rejected by ceding providers. Our clear rejection codes turn setbacks into insights – helping you refine validation rules, guide clients, and resubmit faster.
  • Automate provider chasing.
    Built-in email automation keeps ceding providers accountable and transfers moving – no manual follow-ups required.

Transfers FAQs

We know this is a cliché, but it genuinely comes down to the efficiency of and type of transfer accepted by the ceding platform. When working with efficient providers who embrace electronic transfers, we’ve seen transfers complete in under 24 hours. Other providers who insist on signed paper forms can take much longer.
We’ve taken a number of initiatives to improve transfers, including our improved manual transfer journey, surfacing valuable transfer rejection details, and providing enhanced transfer MI. Also, our Executive chair - David Ferguson - co-chairs the Platform Association’s Transfers Workstream group, with the aim of speeding up transfers across the platform industry.
Yes, this can be self-serviced using our professional portal or API, provided it hasn’t been accepted by the ceding provider.
