Two Swiss fintech companies have launched a service in Asia designed to give local financial-service operators access to robo advisory products.

Additiv and Synpulse in the framework of a cooperation agreement developed a three-step process, which will give companies in Southeast Asia and Greater China access to robo advice. The two companies are based in Zurich.

The service is levelled at retail and affluent clients, the two fintech companies said in a statement.
