In case you missed it, we recently launched the new Client Portal in Mercury Nexus and thanks to your feedback, we’re rolling out regular enhancements to make it even better. 

Here’s the latest: 

Progress bar
We’ve added a progress bar so your clients can quickly see where they are in the workflow, what’s completed, and what’s still ahead, and it’s visible at the top of every page.

Overview page 
Your clients can now access a progress overview page from the dropdown menu near their name, showing all the modules in their request.

This page highlights what’s been done, what’s underway, and what’s next. They can jump straight into any module with a single click for a smoother experience.

Additional updates to your client’s experience:

In case you missed it – we recently launched our new Borrowing Capacity Calculator, and thanks to your feedback, we’re making regular updates.

Latest updates:

Save and manage scenarios directly in the Opportunity

When using the new Borrowing Capacity Calculator, please access it directly within an Opportunity record in the CRM. This lets you create, save, and manage your scenarios in one place. It also keeps client data consistent and easy to maintain across the platform.

To streamline the experience, we’ll soon retire the standalone calculator links from the Mercury Nexus Apps dashboard (as seen below).

Combining living expense per household

In case you missed it, we recently launched the new Client Portal and thanks to your feedback, we’re rolling out regular enhancements to make it even better.

Here’s the latest:

No more backtracking - Your clients can resume where they left off!

Your clients can now save their progress and return later to complete their submission with the new exit and resume later function. No more clicking through pages to get back to where they were. This update makes the experience smoother and more seamless for your clients.

Your feedback is key to shaping the final version of the portal and ensuring it continues to meet your clients’ needs. Please continue to share your feedback with clientportal@connective.com.au.

If you’ve ever tracked rate expiries in a spreadsheet, you know how easy it is for something to slip through the cracks. Rate Reviews in Mercury Nexus changes that - helping you manage client rate reviews directly within each Opportunity.

You told us the client experience mattered most and we listened.

In this early release, the client data collection process of the Client Centre has been rebuilt and renamed the Client Portal, creating a simpler, guided way for your clients to share their personal and financial information with you.

What has changed?

• Your clients will now follow one continuous, guided experience – a simpler, more streamlined version of the existing Client Centre.
• If two clients are on a request, the system automatically prompts one to complete the financials section, making things faster and less confusing. 
• Every detail goes straight into your Opportunity record in Mercury Nexus, meaning less manual checks.

What does this mean for you?

• Complete client data flowing straight into your Opportunity 
• Less back-and-forth chasing client information 
• A smoother, more professional client experience 

Please note: The previous Client Centre remains available in Mercury Nexus, so you can continue to use it while exploring the new Client Portal.

We’d love your feedback

This is the first stage of the new Client Portal, and we’re keen to hear your thoughts. Your feedback will help shape the final version and ensure the experience continues to meet your clients’ needs. Please share your feedback with clientportal@connective.com.au 

It's now easier for your clients to complete the Open Banking process! 

You told us that some clients were getting stuck after connecting their bank accounts - not realising they needed to click “I’m done connecting banks” to complete the process. This meant brokers were seeing the Open Banking status as “In Progress” even when clients thought they were done. 

NextGen has now made this clearer. Clients will now see a “Share with Broker” button when they’ve finished linking their accounts.
