Tower upgrades life product
Tower Australia has upgraded its Accelerated Protection life insurance platform to offer added protection, effective immediately, the company announced.
The upgrade includes 14 enhanced benefits and definitions and applies to all policyholders with an in-force Accelerated Protection policy.
Tower Australia’s head of product and marketing — retail life, David Denison, said the enhancements were a result of feedback from advisers, while Tower had improved its online system to make the application process simpler and easier.
“Reducing the number of clicks required to complete quotes on the latest version of Accelerated Protection is just one example of how we are trying to make advisers’ lives easier,” he said.
