The Embark Platform is to rebrand as the Scottish Widows Platform in a major revamp for the Embark Group.

Embark Group’s new ‘Advance by Embark’ platform has been added to the Origo technology integration hub, becoming the 22nd company to join the fintech inter-connection service.

Retirement solutions and platform provider Embark is planning a tie-up with Openwork, one of the UK’s largest adviser networks, which will see Embark's new Advance platform become the lead supplier to Openwork’s 2,000 advisers for five years until 2026.

Pension and investment group Embark has rebranded the Zurich Investment and Retail Platform after completing the takeover of the business.
