Why financial planners need a better card

Paper cards can't carry your compliance obligations.

Paper can't link to your FSG

ASIC expects clients to receive your Financial Services Guide before or at the first advice meeting. A ZapCard profile links directly to your FSG — one tap, delivered, logged.

Licensee changes make cards wrong overnight

You move to a new licensee or your AFSL number updates and 300 printed cards become a compliance risk — wrong credentials on every card. A ZapCard profile update takes 30 seconds.

Prospects need to verify you before they trust you

A tap that opens your ASIC Financial Advisers Register listing does more work than a verbal "I'm licensed". Show the registration, not just the claim.

Referrals from accountants and brokers happen casually

Your accountant partner mentions you over coffee. A tap sends your profile link instantly — they forward it to the client before they leave the table. Paper cards don't travel like that.

Calendar friction loses warm leads

After a networking event introduction, the delay between "I'd love to learn more" and a booked meeting is where leads cool. A tap to your Calendly closes that gap immediately.

Compliance documentation needs to be findable

SOA, PDS, FSG — clients lose emails. A tap to your profile gives them a permanent home for your documents link, always current, always accessible from their phone.

Compliance tile

Built for AU regulatory requirements.

AFSL display & ASIC register link

Your AFSL number displays in your profile bio. Link directly to your ASIC Financial Advisers Register entry so any prospect can verify your authorisation with one tap — no copy-pasting registration numbers.

FSG & PDS delivery link

Add your Financial Services Guide URL as a named link. Clients who tap at a first meeting get a direct path to your FSG — supporting your obligation to provide it before or at the time of advice.

Australian-owned client data

Profile and lead-capture data lives on Cloudflare's secure network. Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) compliance by default — not by exception. Australian-owned and accountable under local law.

Update without reprint

AFSL number changed, new licensee, new business address — update your profile once and every card you've ever handed out now points to accurate credentials. No compliance risk from stale cards.

Five moments it pays off

From client meetings to referral networks.

01

First advice meetings

A tap at the start or end of a first meeting gives the client your FSG link, ASIC register entry, booking page, and contact — all the compliance and convenience in one gesture.

02

Referral partner catch-ups

Accountants, mortgage brokers, and solicitors send you high-value referrals. A tap locks your current profile in their phone — including the link they forward to the client.

03

FPA & professional events

At Financial Planning Association events, AIOFP conferences, or BNI meetings, a ZapCard tap stays in their phone long after your paper card lands in the bin.

04

SMSF trustee & estate planning meetings

At a first SMSF review or estate planning consultation, your profile with a link to your strategy note template or client portal signals the professional practice you run.

05

Community & life events

Weddings, school community events, sporting clubs — the best referrals come from personal trust. A tap when someone asks "do you know a good financial planner?" puts your details in their phone on the spot.

What to link in your profile

Everything a prospect or referrer needs.

ASIC Financial Advisers Register

Direct link to your ASIC register entry. Prospects verify your authorisation with one tap — no friction, no doubt.

FSG & PDS

Link to your current Financial Services Guide and any Product Disclosure Statements. Always the live version — update once and every card stays compliant.

Calendar booking

Calendly, Acuity, or your practice scheduling page. New clients self-book a no-obligation discovery call without going through reception.

Client portal

Xplan, Midwinter, Advice Intelligence, or your own client portal URL. Clients tap to access their documents without hunting for the login email.

LinkedIn

Referral partners reviewing you before sending a high-value client want to see your background and endorsements. A tap to LinkedIn is faster than a Google search.

vCard (save contact)

One-tap download drops your name, direct line, email, and practice name into their phone contacts. No manual typing — and no losing your card.

Whole-of-practice rollout

Scale it across your dealer group.

Five or more advisers? Volume pricing from $29/card, a central admin dashboard, brand-consistent profiles, and spreadsheet bulk onboarding. One invoice, net 30 available. Custom AFSL display templates across your whole group.

Common questions

Financial planner FAQs.

Can I display my AFSL number and link to my FSG?

Yes. Your AFSL number displays in your profile bio and you can add a direct link to your FSG URL. Your ASIC Financial Advisers Register entry can also be linked as a named link so prospects tap to verify your authorisation.

What happens if I move licensees or my AFSL changes?

Log in to your ZapCard dashboard and update your profile. New AFSL number, new FSG link, new licensee name — all live immediately. Every card you've ever handed out now points to accurate, compliant credentials.

Is client data handled under the Privacy Act?

Yes. Profile and any lead-capture submissions are stored on Cloudflare's secure network. ZapCard complies with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). We don't share or sell your data.

Can I get cards for my whole practice?

Yes. 5+ cards get $29/card, central admin, brand-consistent profiles, and CSV bulk onboarding. One PO and invoice. Email hello@zapcard.com.au for larger dealer group or whole-of-practice quotes.
