ClearView updates life insurance platform

Diversified financial services business ClearView has updated its life insurance platform as part of its adviser engagement strategy.

The changes are intended to help advisers become more efficient, ClearView said in a statement, and include a new front end as well as streamlining application processes and offering ‘tele-interviewing’ and ‘tele-underwriting’.

“We are committed to continuously improving our products and services, and supporting financial advisers to adapt and grow their businesses under LIF,” said ClearView general manager of distribution Christopher Blaxland-Walker.

According to Mr Blaxland-Walker, the updates recognise that client/adviser interactions are constantly evolving, adding that the company intends to continue investing in its systems beyond the “facelift” given to the life insurance platform.
