The product, which allows fund members to apply, change or upgrade their life insurance cover via the Internet, has been released to major industry superannuation funds HESTA and Hostplus.
Commenting on the release of the new product, ING executive director, life risk, Gavin Pearce said the facility was intended to make life insurance easy and more accessible to super fund members.
The product will be accessible to super fund members through their funds' web sites, which will link back to ING.
