One in Five Advisers Already Use AI Transcription for Client Meetings - Are You Next?
AI Has Officially Entered the Advice Room
A recent Money Marketing report revealed that 1 in 5 advisers now use AI transcription tools in their client meetings.
That stat alone says a lot, advisers are ready to automate the admin, reduce errors, and make meetings more productive.
Think about it: instead of scribbling notes or trying to recall key points later, advisers can now capture everything automatically. Then, they can focus on what actually matters - the client in front of them.
But like any powerful tool, it needs to be done right, securely, compliantly, and without creating new headaches.
Why Advisers Are Turning to AI Transcription
Here’s what’s driving the change:
✅ Less admin, more advice
AI handles the note-taking, freeing you up to focus on listening and advising.
✅ Accurate, audit-ready records
No more guessing what was said. Every meeting is automatically logged, timestamped, and searchable.
✅ Instant clarity for clients
Summaries can be shared post-meeting, giving clients confidence and transparency in what was discussed.
✅ Team collaboration
Adviser teams can quickly review meetings, pick up actions, and provide consistent follow-up.
The benefits are real - but the challenge is doing it all within a compliant framework that protects sensitive data.
The Risks Advisers Need to Watch Out For
⚠️ Data sensitivity
Meeting transcripts often contain highly confidential details. Using unsecured AI tools could expose that data.
⚠️ Inconsistent accuracy
AI can misinterpret financial terminology, which means unchecked notes might cause confusion later.
⚠️ Consent & compliance
Recording or transcribing meetings requires clear client consent and careful storage - not something every off-the-shelf app offers.
That’s why many firms are moving away from generic transcription tools and turning to integrated, secure solutions designed specifically for financial advice.
