AMP technology makes risk easier for IFAs

08 Feb 2011
From

AMP has launched a new online risk premium quoting tool, easyquote, for independent financial advisers (IFAs) available through AMP’s Adviser Online service at www.adviseronline.amp.com.au. Easyquote will support all contemporary AMP retail risk products from 21 February 2011.

Advisers will also soon be able to validate risk premium estimates for AMP products provided by XPLAN’s Risk Researcher by pre-populating easyquote and/or requesting a real-time binding quotation from AMP in Risk Researcher.

AMP Director IFA and Alliance Distribution Dan Powell said AMP continues to enhance its offering to IFAs through investment in technology.

“AMP has worked closely with IFAs to ensure easyquote adds real value to their businesses. Our aim is to make the risk quoting system easy to use and responsive to their particular needs.

“Advisers will also notice the navigation and look and feel of Adviser Online has improved making it a lot easier for advisers to access market-leading resources and support available to them,” Mr Powell said.

Easyquote enables advisers to obtain quotations for AMP risk products using a simple and responsive user interface. Advisers who wish to proceed with an easyquote quotation can automatically pre-populate and lodge the application without the need to re-key large amounts of data.

With technology as the theme, AMP is hosting a series of nationwide risk seminars for IFAs from 15 to 24 February. The seminars will take place in Parramatta, Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane and will include a breakfast. Lunch will be provided at the Gold Coast event.

The seminars will focus on how technology can be used as a key driver for future business growth and how it can make a difference to a bottom line.

Technology adviser Mike Walsh, Chief Executive Officer of the consumer innovation research agency Tomorrow, will discuss the practical business implications within the technology maze.

Dan Powell will give AMP’s perspective on the current regulatory environment and AMP Head of Wealth Protection Sales Graham Burnard will explain how AMP Wealth Protection’s current technology capability can assist adviser businesses.

Information about the seminars, including how to register, can be found at www.registration2011.com.au
