I am pleased to share with you the results of a reflection process which began some time ago, following Investia’s sustained growth over the past few years.

Following the launch of the Business Tracker last year (reference: June 15, 2023 communication), we are pleased to announce that we have made enhancement to our transfer-in process.

• Statements
• Tax documents
