Unique identifier information can be supplied for individual accounts on the new Client ID screen, or in bulk by uploading a CSV file (HUB24 account number, source, identifier). Identifiers can be edited or deleted any time from the Client ID tab.
We’ve also made enhancements to the Health Check Report in response to adviser feedback with the inclusion of an additional column for Dollars ($) held in cash .
