Tasplan members officially rolled over to MetLife cover
Tasplan has gone live with its group insurance cover from MetLife, following the insurer winning the super fund’s mandate last October.
The two organisations had been working toward a 1 July transition date since the agreement last year, swapping over the death, total and permanent disability, and income protection policies for 138,000 members.
According to Tasplan chief operations officer, Nick Connor, the changeover should be “seamless” for insureds, as the two organisations had worked closely to ensure there was no impact to members.
