TAL enhances digital capabilities
TAL has increased its digital capabilities on its platform to allow its superannuation and corporate group members to access all aspects of super fund insurance.
The platform will allow members manage all aspects of their super fund insurance such as applying for increased cover, getting a quote, modifying their insurance, transferring, and tracking their insurance.
It will also allow members to engage with their fund and their life insurance benefits from any of their personal devices.
TAL general manager for group insurance, Jenny Oliver, said the firm was committed to allowing all of their partners to have a digital presence, to ensure they could deliver services to members and employees anywhere, anytime.
"We also invested significantly in back-end sustainability. We have brought together the latest versions of our content management systems, underwriting rules engines, and best practice designs so we can deliver agile and responsive digital solutions for our partners that support their current and future strategies," Oliver said.
"Our aim at TAL is to continue to innovate and reinvest in our digital capabilities for our partners, so together we can deliver on the member promise. Our emphasis is on evolving from the status quo, setting the strategy, and most importantly focusing on the execution and delivery of initiatives."
