What is AI for financial advisors?

AI for financial advisors refers to artificial intelligence tools that automate repetitive administrative workflows such as pension transfer processing, annual review preparation, and document extraction. MonAI provides on-premises AI that processes client data locally, ensuring GDPR compliance without sending sensitive information to the cloud.

Is AI for financial advisors GDPR compliant?

With MonAI, yes. Our on-premises AI platform processes all client data locally within your firm's infrastructure. No data is sent to external cloud servers, ensuring full GDPR compliance and data sovereignty for UK financial advisory firms.

How much time can AI save financial advisors?

MonAI clients typically save 35+ hours per week on administrative tasks. This includes automating pension transfer document processing, annual review preparation, and client correspondence — allowing advisors to focus on client-facing work.

How does on-premises AI differ from cloud AI?

On-premises AI runs entirely within your firm's own infrastructure. Unlike cloud AI services (ChatGPT, Copilot), your client data never leaves your building. This is critical for UK financial advisory firms where FCA regulations and GDPR require strict data handling controls.

What does MonAI cost?

MonAI starts from £259 per admin seat per month, which includes the on-premises hardware, AI software, implementation, and ongoing support. Most firms see ROI within the first month through reduced admin costs and avoided hiring.

What Is On-Premises AI for Financial Services?

On-premises AI means running artificial intelligence models on hardware physically inside your office, rather than sending data to external cloud servers. For UK financial advisory firms, this is critical: your client pension statements, investment records, and personal data stay under your direct control at all times.

Unlike cloud-based AI tools that require uploading sensitive documents to third-party servers, on-prem AI processes everything locally. MonAI delivers this through the MonAI Box — a compact device installed in your office that runs AI-powered document workflows without any internet dependency for data processing.

Why On-Prem AI Matters for Advisory Firms

→Data sovereignty: Client data stays inside your network, never touching external servers
→GDPR by design: No third-party data processing agreements needed for AI usage
→Evidence preserved: Source links and audit trails built into every output
→Human approval loop: Your team reviews and approves before any output is used
→Predictable costs: Fixed monthly pricing, no per-API-call surprises

Built for Regulated Workflows

MonAI isn't a chat tool. It's a workflow engine that turns document chaos into structured outputs your team can trust. Export from your CRM, upload supporting documents, click once, and get a clean prep document ready for adviser review.

On-Premises AI: Common Questions

What does on-premises AI mean for financial services?+

On-premises AI means the AI models and processing run entirely on hardware inside your office. Client documents never leave your network. For UK financial advisory firms handling sensitive pension, investment, and client data, this eliminates the GDPR risk of uploading to cloud AI tools like ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot.

How is on-prem AI different from cloud AI tools?+

Cloud AI tools process your data on external servers owned by third parties. On-prem AI processes everything locally on dedicated hardware in your office. With MonAI, your client PDFs, pension statements, and review documents never leave your building. You get the same automation benefits without the data privacy risk.

Is on-premises AI GDPR compliant for financial advisors?+

Yes. Because data never leaves your office network, on-premises AI eliminates the third-party data processing risks that make cloud AI tools problematic under GDPR. MonAI is designed for UK financial advisory firms that need to process sensitive client documents while maintaining full data sovereignty.

What hardware is needed for on-premises AI?+

MonAI runs on the MonAI Box — a compact, pre-configured device we install in your office in under 2 hours. No IT expertise required. We handle setup, configuration, and training. Your team just drags and drops files.

How much does on-premises AI cost compared to cloud AI?+

On-prem AI has predictable, fixed monthly costs with no usage spikes. Cloud AI tools charge per API call, so costs escalate unpredictably as your document volume grows. MonAI pricing starts at £2,000/month with unlimited document processing.
