The problem

Great plans, forgotten between reviews

You build a strong financial plan. Then life happens, and the plan sits in a drawer until the next annual review.

  1. 1
    Recommendations aren't followedClients often fail to follow through on their financial plan.
  2. 2
    Goals are forgottenFinancial goals slip out of mind between annual reviews.
  3. 3
    Engagement feels transactionalOngoing, meaningful communication is hard to sustain.
  4. 4
    Clients struggle to own their goalsTaking responsibility for progress is difficult on their own.
  5. 5
    Referrals are rareAdvisers aren't visible in their clients' day to day lives.
The gap

Advisers manage the money. Nobody manages the habits.

Milestones & reminders

Celebrate progress, prompt the next step

Clients are congratulated as they hit milestones, and reminded before each contribution is due.

25%"You are a quarter of the way to your target."
50%"You have reached the halfway point."
100%"This goal has been marked as complete."
One day before each contribution is dueReminders name the client's own goal, the kind proven to work.
The evidence

Why goal tracking works

Decades of behavioural finance research point the same way: when clients have a clear goal, see their progress and get the right nudges, their behaviour changes, and so does your book.

+16%

Goal reminders work

Bank clients reminded of their own named savings goal saved 16% more. Generic reminders did nothing.

~20%

Gamified tracking helps

Savers using a tracker with progress bars and badges got almost 20% closer to their goal than those using a plain one.

2% vs 70%

Trust keeps clients

Only 2% of clients who highly trust their adviser would likely switch, against 70% of low trust clients.

Data security

Client data stays between you and your client

Your clients trust you with their financial lives. Rhumb is built so that trust never has to stretch to anyone else.

No third parties

Never shared

Client data is never sold, never shared with advertisers and never sent to anyone for their own use. No tracking or analytics tools in the app or the portal.

Only you and your client

Locked down

A client can only see their own goals. You can only see your own clients. This is enforced inside the database itself, not just hidden on screen.

In transit and at rest

Encrypted

Every connection uses HTTPS/TLS and the database is encrypted at rest. Passwords are never stored in readable form, not even by Rhumb.

Hosted in the EU (Ireland)SOC 2 Type 2 audited providersPOPIA: you are the Responsible Party, Rhumb is your OperatorNo ID, bank or card numbers collected
Where is the data stored?

In Supabase's data centre in the European Union (Ireland), encrypted at rest.

Who can see a client's goals?

Only that client and you, their adviser. Other advisers on Rhumb cannot.

Can Rhumb see passwords?

No. Passwords are stored as a one-way hash and cannot be read by anyone.

Do you sell or share data?

Never. No selling, no advertisers and no tracking tools.

What if a client forgets their password?

They request a reset link, which is sent only to their registered email address.

Can a client be removed?

Yes. Removing a client deletes their goals and progress. Clients can also delete their own account in the app.

How does Rhumb fit with POPIA?

For your clients' information, you are the Responsible Party and Rhumb acts as your Operator, processing it only to provide the service. The database is hosted in the EU under GDPR-level protection, as POPIA requires for cross-border transfers.

Is Rhumb connected to clients' bank accounts?

No. Rhumb is not connected to any bank and cannot move money. It never asks for ID, bank, card, policy or investment account numbers.
