FutureWise offers a sound platform
New independent research shows that advisers using Macquarie Life’s online platform and product Futurewise are able to see 20 per cent more clients on average.
Head of Macquarie Life Justin Delaney said the research, conducted late last year, also showed that advisers have been able to “increase their revenue”.
Launched in March 2007, FutureWise was the first online insurance platform in Australia with an intuitive application form, complete with online underwriting, according to Delaney.
Meanwhile, the company has appointed Gavin Glozier as a business development manager, providing training on FutureWise to independent advisers in NSW and ACT.
