Account Creation

Overview

AssetView Accounts are created in two ways.

1. If you connect a financial institution to AssetView through an AssetView Connector (e.g. the TradFi Connector), then the Connector will automatically create an Account in AssetView linked to the account at the financial institution. For a Set-by-Step Guide to connect your account at a financial institution to AssetView, please visit the TradFi Connector page.
2. You may manually create an account. A video guide and a set-by-step guide to create an Account manually is shown below.
