iPipeline Reports $31 Billion in Annuity Transactions Processing for 2018

Written by iPipeline on . Posted in Press & News.

EXTON, PA (January 15, 2019) – iPipeline® – a leading provider of cloud-based software solutions for the life insurance and financial services industry – today announced a record increase in the number of annuity transactions processed using their AFFIRM for Annuities product in 2018. AFFIRM® for Annuities is used by the nation’s largest financial institutions and their 35,000 advisors to execute order entries for variable and fixed indexed annuities.

AFFIRM for Annuities streamlines and accelerates the order-entry process by supporting customized workflows and suitability reviews, enabling financial institutions to meet their stringent requirements for FINRA, SEC and state compliance.

“A review of our 2018 processing data indicates advisor use of our AFFIRM order entry solution has continued to trend upwards. The total number of annuity transactions processed through AFFIRM has grown to over 240,000 with total deposits in 2018 reaching $31 billion,” said Tim Wallace, CEO, iPipeline. “This uptick is, in part, a testimony to the increasing value being derived by institutional clients and their advisors through our investments in improving the versatility and usability of AFFIRM.”

“AFFIRM has become the software of choice among top-tier financial institutions. Our ability to combine complex carrier product rules with the institutions’ compliance processing needs has enabled us to positively influence how advisors do their daily jobs, while ensuring that only 100% ‘in Good Order’ transactions are processed,” added Wallace. “Fixed indexed annuity sales and variable annuity assets hit record quarterly highs according to the Insured Retirement Institute (IRI).According to the IRI, industry-wide annuity sales hit $54.9 billion in the third quarter of 2018 with the fourth quarter results expected to be strong. The demise of the DOL fiduciary rule last spring, changing economic conditions, and the broadening acceptance of our next-generation order-entry solution account for much of the increase in transactions and total deposits.”

iPipeline’s Connections 2019 User Meeting & Conference will be held at the Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas from March 17-19.

Early BGA adopters of this new agent marketing and selling product include Brokers International, Levinson and Associates, AdvisorNet Financial, and Empire Insurance Brokerage.

“Clients can be very demanding when exploring life insurance policies. They expect to see multiple purchasing options for a variety of scenarios and prices, and this is an exhaustive and complex undertaking,” said Tim Wallace, CEO, iPipeline. “With iSolve, our new research and quoting product, marketers are no longer forced to spend hours creating multiple illustrations to cover all the policy options a client might want to review.”

“iSolve has database housing values for every possible illustration solve scenario, which include premiums, target premiums, cash surrender values, distribution amounts, internal rates of return and guarantee years for all the top insurance companies,” added Wallace. “Millions of data combinations are at the agent’s fingertips, making it simple to compare sales scenarios for various carriers in the industry. It’s all about speed to market in this industry, and we see iSolve as a valuable marketing innovation for anyone selling life insurance.”

“We are excited to invest in a software that is going to streamline many of our internal processes.

This is potentially a real game changer for us, and we are expecting immediate adoption across our agent base.”

We often create spreadsheets and run countless illustrations which takes an enormous amount of time,” stated Aaron Niedorf, Vice President of Insurance Operations, AdvisorNet Financial. “With this new illustration tool, our staff will save time and our advisors will have the ability to make changes and run different scenarios without requiring assistance.

iPipeline Launches iGO Link for Digitized Paper

Written by iPipeline on . Posted in Press & News.

EXTON, PA (October 9th, 2018) – iPipeline® – a leading provider of cloud-based software solutions for the life insurance and financial services industry – today announced the launch of iGO Link. iGO® Link,an iPipeline innovation, is the “missing link” in the life insurance industry’s new business application process. It allows agents to complete a paper application while leveraging all the benefits derived from iGO e-App for straight-through processing speed. iGO e-App® is the most widely used wizard within the North American insurance industry for the processing of digital applications.

“We are extremely pleased to bring this innovation to the life insurance industry. Despite the move toward digitization within the industry, paper applications are still being submitted by agents and processed in abundance. The use of paper adds enormously to processing costs, introduces errors, leads to delays and cycle time, and results all too often in lost business,” said Tim Wallace, CEO, iPipeline. “The good news is iGO Link solves the problem and is already in use with a top 10 U.S. life insurance carrier.iGO e-App customers already have the majority of what they need in place. Future iGO e-App customers can simply add iGO Link as a powerful capability in their end-to-end digital strategy.”

“Agent behavior is very difficult to change. What is unique about iGO Link is its ability to easily digitize, correct and process a paper application to produce an in Good Order application without changing the agent’s preferred submission method. We use machine learning to convert the paper app to XML data, without data entry, and produce an iGO e-App,” said Bill Atlee, Chief Strategy Officer, iPipeline.“Agents can still complete a paper application and then electronically clean and e-Submit it for accelerated, straight-through processing. The gains are enormous. Carriers can also leverage their existing iGO e-App infrastructure to now achieve 100% agent adoption. iGO Link has the potential to deliver a rapid and substantial ROI to insurers using this innovation.”
