Louise Colley, protection director at Aviva, said:
“Protection is the bedrock of financial planning, giving people the confidence to build their futures without fear of the unknown. We believe everyone deserves to understand both the financial risks they face, and the importance of protection.
“The introduction of Aviva Life Protection Solutions has helped us transform the way advisers do business with us so they can protect more lives, more easily.
"ALPS is an intuitive and interactive system which I’ve no doubt will save advisers valuable time and money, at the same time as better identifying customers’ protection needs and providing them with that all-important peace of mind.
“By totally re-engineering our system, the journey from quote through to claim is much cleaner and easier to navigate and this will revolutionise how advisers will write protection business with us in the future.”
