TOWER Australia has announced a range of enhancements to its quoting and electronic application systems.
The insurer says the enhancements were made in response to adviser feedback, and are designed to make the new business experience more streamlined.
The quoting function has been made simpler with the removal of ‘plan pop up forms’ and the ability to enter information directly into data fields. Advisers can also amend responses to the ‘Health and Lifestyle’ questions within the application after an underwriting assessment has been provided.
In addition, TOWER announced that their income protection product will now be available to a greater range of trade occupations, in particular those in the mining, gas and oil industries.
Speaking about the enhancements, Brett Clark, TOWER CEO, said they reflected the insurer’s continued commitment to risk advisers.
“In recent months we’ve sought out and prioritised feedback from our valued partners – risk advisers,” said Mr Clark.
“The end result is what we’ve launched – our most significant technology upgrade since the introduction of the Accelerated Protection quoting software and electronic application in 2009,” he said.
