(August-2002) Internet lodgement on Super Solutions
Norwich Union has introduced a web-based electronic submission system for the Super Solutions Employer Plan.
Called, E-applications, the system gives advisers the ability to submit all Super Solutions Employer Plan applications through the adviser-only web site — www.solutions.norwich-union.com.au/.
This facility eliminates a lot of paper work while reducing the possibility of establishment errors. The system assists advisers to complete the application process with regular prompts and warnings.
Allan Griffiths, managing director of Norwich Union Life, said the new system complemented Norwich Union’s strong web-based processes and significantly simplified administration for advisers.
The new electronic system is also complemented by a number of product enhancements for Super Solutions.
Seven new investment choices have been added to the product range, expanding the number of options that can be selected to 45. Options are sourced from UBS, JBWere, AXA, AMP and Challenger. Members will also have access to a socially responsible investment category.
