Aegon UK has embedded a new electronic solution to its online protection applications, making it quicker and easier for advisers to access clients’ medical reports.
The new service will form part of Aegon’s online protection dashboard which launched for advisers earlier this year.
A wet signature was previously required for AMRA permission, but the new service removes the requirement for a signature, allowing clients to tick a box on the application form instead.
Aegon said the introduction of an electric AMRA was part of its continued investment in its protection business and commitment to enhancing its digital offering. It follows the launch of the online protection dashboard in May this year, where advisers can create and submit applications, track applications in real time, provide a policy start date and receive documents electronically.
Helen Morris, head of underwriting & claims at Aegon said: “We’re committed to making it easier for advisers to work with Aegon and we continue to invest in our protection business and the enhancement of digital journeys.
“Following the launch of the online protection dashboard earlier this year, the electronic access to medical records solution is another milestone in this commitment to streamlining our processes. It removes the barrier of separate forms with a wet signature to help more families and businesses secure their protection needs quicker and easier.”
