Underwriting support

Underwriting support to help you place more cases

We know underwriting is pivotal to your success with customers. That’s why we have highly experienced underwriters, a competitive underwriting philosophy and unique strategies and programs designed to help you get customers the best risk class possible.

Get to know the benefits of full underwriting

Customers have different needs and budgets, so your recommendations should be different, too. This might mean shifting your conversations from simplified issue solutions to fully underwritten products that offer more protection for their family. When you recommend full underwriting, you and customers enjoy the benefits of:

Higher levels of protection

Fully underwritten life insurance offers higher coverage limits and more flexible options compared to simplified issue solutions.

Stronger relationships

When you recommend coverage that fully meets their protection needs, you’re more likely to earn customers’ trust and keep them in your book of business longer.

The right price for the customer

Our underwriting process ensures the solution is priced right based on the customer’s risk class.

A straightforward process

We offer resources to help you understand our underwriting process and what an underwriter looks for, so you and customers can feel confident at every step.
