New! Annuity Updates

- Just Retirement have put their Enhanced Annuity product live on Webline. This brings our panel of Annuity providers to 10, making it the most powerful available.

- Webline have developed a new annuity quotation form - midway between the current "quick quote" and our "detailed quote". Called 'Quick Quote plus', the new form allows you to quote additional options, principally splitting Non-Protected/Protected Rights and incorporating Widows Benefit, but it remains a simple and quick quotation tool. This latest development will be going live in the first half of December, so please keep an eye on our website "news" section for specific dates.

- Webline have introduced an online training video for the Quick Quote Annuity service, showing you how easy it is to use this service, and how to get the best out of your quotes. This can be accessed via our news section on the homepage, or under the info menu. Just imagine how much time you can save by getting a range of quotes for your clients in less than a minute! It costs you nothing to add all of our annuity quote features to your account, so why not give it a try?

New! The Insurance Helpline Available on Webline

The Insurance Helpline's special risks protection service is now accessible
through Webline, under the Protection - Term menu. Linking through from here, you may first apply for an agency with the Totally Insured Group (who run the service) and then begin referring cases.

The Insurance Helpline can help with, not only special risk cases, but is often able to arrange cover for cases that may have previously been declined. On referral, the clients are first 'screened' and the case sent to the underwriters for an indication of requirements and costs. The Insurance Helpline then check affordability with the clients before completing the application. Click the special risks link on Webline for more details.
