Settlers Life Insurance Company Selects iGO for Final Expense to Improve Buying and Selling Experience

iPipeline® -- the leader in on-demand marketing, selling and processing solutions for the nation's top insurance carriers, distributors, producers, and financial professionals -- today announced Settlers Life has selected iGO®, the industry's top selling electronic fillable form, to automate and accelerate the processing of multiple Final Expense whole life products. The solution will be made available to over 3,000 insurance producers selling Settlers' products in 36 states. The iGO deployment also includes iPipeline's iGO Disconnected version to enable their producers to work in locations where internet access is not available.

"Technology innovation is rapidly becoming a key differentiator in today's insurance industry. The ability to rapidly and easily complete an application for a final expense product positively impacts the consumer experience and paves the way to a faster sale for the producer," said Paul Melchiorre, President, iPipeline. "By selecting our iGO for final expense solution, Settlers has just extended a comprehensive technology to their producers to ultimately achieve straight-through processing, by-pass legacy system integration, and minimize IT support concerns. We are confident that the efficiencies resulting from the deployment will have a favorable impact on how Settlers Life's producers engage consumers in new business opportunities."

"At Settlers Life we focus solely on final expense and the agent partners who offer our products to the marketplace. We work hard to constantly improve the tools and services we offer to our partners in order to make selling our products as simple as possible. That is why we are very pleased to offer the iO electronic application solution to our partners. We believe it will be a great addition to their 'agent toolbox', helping to guide them through our applications, auto-filling many sections, and simplifying the sales and submission process," said Michael Lowe, President of Settlers Life. "And we're not through yet. We are already working with iPipeline to further enhance the tool.
