1st – The Exchange is now providing an improved workflow capability to its Exweb real time annuity platform.
The new service has been designed to provide better workflow and be easier to use. Clients’ personal details, including smoker status, lifestyle factors and any medical issues are now collected at the beginning of the business process via a dedicated ‘annuitant’ section.
