In response, d1g1t offers a total solution that has proven its ability to service and delight some of the industry’s most demanding customers.” Joining d1g1t’s investor group this round are CIBC Innovation Banking and, d1g1t’s client and partner, FigTree Financial. “We recognize d1g1t’s transformative approach to digital wealth management,” said Rob Rosen, Managing Director in CIBC Innovation Banking’s Toronto office. “Its sophisticated platform stands out not just for its technological edge, but for how it addresses the nuanced needs of today’s financial professionals. We believe in d1g1t’s potential to further redefine the industry and are excited to be a part of their growth trajectory.” “By providing us with a whole new set of capabilities to engage with our clients in real-time and elevate their experience, the d1g1t platform helps us accelerate our growth and establish ourselves as a leading wealth advisor in the region,” said Danny Farmer, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of FigTree Financial. “We are very excited to expand our partnership and to continue collaborating with the d1g1t team to bring powerful technology to the forefront of wealth management practice.” About d1g1t Inc. d1g1t is the leading Institutional-grade Wealth Management Platform for Advisors, Multi-family Offices, RIAs, and Broker Dealers.
