StatewideSuper rolls out insurance enhancements
Industry super fund StatewideSuper has enhanced its income protection, death and TPD insurance cover.
StatewideSuper chief executive officer, John O’Flaherty said the new improvements were rolled out on 1 March 2011, and also offered occupational scales with no additional cost.
Other features include an eToolkit, developed by Metlife — a company that has been in partnership with StatewideSuper for 18 years.
EToolkit provides an online application form to simplify and streamline the application process.
“We believe that being able to apply for insurance online is a great step forward in improving the customer experience for our members,” said O’Flaherty.
