How to remotely sign using the E-App

 

As a precaution to the Coronavirus, we have provided resources for you (the agent) to continue with your work virtually. Here are the steps needed to sign an application remotely while using the E-App.

 

1) When the E-App prompts you to start the Signature Process, you should select ‘Owner’.

 



 

2) You should click on ‘Send Email Request’ instead of ‘Sign Now’ to allow the client to access the application through their email and sign on their own/remotely.

 



 

3) The below fields need to be completed. The ‘Your Name’ field automatically populates with the name of the agent that is logged into the Portal.

 

4) Once the required fields are completed, click on ‘Send Email Request’ to send the email to the client.

 

 

5) The client should then receive an email with a link. They should click on that link and identify themselves with the last 4 digits of their SSN and their birth date. The application will then pop up as normal for the client to sign. Once the client has completed the signature process, you will receive a notification telling you that the application can be submitted.

 

 

Annuity Contracts will now be available online!

 

All contracts approved as of 3/23/2020 and beyond will now be available to download online from the Agent Portal!

 

To download a finalized annuity contract, click on 'Client Policies List' and then type the Policy Number in the Policy Number field. Once the search results populate, scroll down to the Agency Policies List Search result and click on the policy number. Click on the 'Documents' tab to see the downloadable contract.pdf file of the contract under the Annuity Contract section.

 

Please note, we suggest your client uses their personal login to download a copy of the contract directly from the Agent Portal themselves. You (the agent) should not email a copy of the contract to your client as that action may put your client’s information at risk.

 

 

 

Coronavirus Update

 

As you read in our March 14th update on the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, Atlantic Coast Life Insurance Company activated our Business Continuity Plan to protect employees’ health and allow for business operations to continue as normal. However, due to the recent decision of Utah’s Governor Herbert to close all Utah public schools until May 1st (effective March 23), Atlantic Coast Life Insurance Company is taking further steps to support our Utah staff and community during this period.

 

Effective immediately, Atlantic Coast Life Insurance Company will more rapidly advance its transition to allow more employees to work remotely from their homes. Please note, as we work through this transition, we expect disruptions to service. You may experience longer call and processing times, so please plan accordingly. We would strongly encourage use of the Agent Portal to obtain status updates on pending applications.

 

We want to assure you that we are doing everything in our power to make this transition efficient and to return service levels to normal as quickly as possible. We are dedicated to serving you, our partners, and appreciate your patience during these unprecedented times.

 

As stated in our March 14th update, we request that you work smartly and take necessary precautions to protect your health. We suggest using the E-App system to limit your in-person client meetings. Through the E-App, you can submit applications while working with your clients remotely over the phone. Please reach out to our Sales team at sales@aclico.com if you have trouble utilizing the E-App (found on the Agent Portal).
