Insurers For Transfer

Transferring policies from one insurer to another is a common practice in the insurance industry, particularly in regions where automated notifications to the previous insurer are the norm.

InsurFront introduces an efficient way to manage these transfers, providing insights into competitive dynamics and streamlining the notification process.

'Insurers for Transfer' is a dedicated data type within InsurFront designed to record and manage the details of insurance companies from which policies are being transferred. This feature not only identifies your closest competitors by showing from which companies policies are moving but also facilitates the automation of transfer notifications. Such notifications are essential in jurisdictions where it's customary to inform the previous insurer about the transfer, ensuring a seamless policy cancellation process on their end.

Navigating to Insurers for Transfer

To access and manage 'Insurers for Transfer,' follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Settings > Reporting & Compliance > Insurers For Transfers within the InsurFront platform. This section is the hub for adding, viewing, and editing the details of insurers involved in the policy transfer process.

Adding and Editing Insurer Details

Within the 'Insurers for Transfer' section, you can maintain a comprehensive list of insurance companies. Here’s how to manage these entries:

• Viewing Insurers: This section displays a list of all insurers already entered into the system, allowing you to quickly review the companies from which policies are frequently transferred.

• Adding New Insurers: Should you encounter a policy transfer from an insurer not yet listed, you can add a new entry directly from this section. Essential details such as the insurer's name, email address, phone number, and website URL can be included to facilitate future communications and tracking.

• Editing Existing Insurers: To update the details of an existing insurer—for example, to correct a contact detail or add a previously omitted URL—you can easily edit the insurer's entry, ensuring that all information remains accurate and current.

Automating Transfer Notifications

One of the key functionalities enabled by maintaining an accurate 'Insurers for Transfer' list is the automation of transfer notifications. Here’s how it works:

• Selecting the 'Transfer from' Insurer: When processing a policy transfer order, agents are prompted to select the 'Transfer from' insurer from the list. This step is crucial for triggering the automated notification process.

• Notification Process: Upon order submission, InsurFront uses the selected insurer's contact details to automatically send out a notification. This communication informs the previous insurer about the customer's transfer, including the effective date of the new policy, to facilitate the appropriate cancellation of the customer's old policy.

The automatic transfer notifications feature must be enabled for this process to work.

• Operational Efficiency: Automating the transfer notification process significantly reduces administrative overhead, ensuring that policy transfers are handled smoothly and in compliance with regional practices.
