"We’re delighted to build on our successful partnership with National Friendly and its continuing innovative use of the ALLFINANZ platform to drive improved experiences for their protection adviser community and IP customers."
- Noel Gilmer, VP Customer Success ELAT at Munich Re Automation Solutions

Munich Re Automation Solutions’ ALLFINANZ Underwriting Engine gives National Friendly the ability to underwrite accurately, make changes quickly, and obtain valuable data. It has been consistently delivering a straight-through processing rate of between 65-70% each month, giving intermediaries immediate decisions in the majority of applications.

Alongside this renewed partnership, National Friendly has reduced & simplified the questions asked during Income Protection (IP) applications. This cuts the time it typically takes advisers to apply from fourteen to six minutes.

“Committing to a longer-term relationship with Munich Re Automation Solutions means we’ll continue to have fast efficient underwriting technology. Combined with our new streamlined IP applications and backed up by a wider product offering of Accident Only IP (AOIP) & Friendly Shield, we believe we offer a very strong adviser-friendly proposition for protecting people at all levels of risk and income,” explained Graham Singleton, CEO of National Friendly.

Noel Gilmer, VP of Customer Success ELAT at Munich Re Automation Solutions, added: “We’re delighted to build on our successful partnership with National Friendly and its continuing innovative use of the ALLFINANZ platform to drive improved experiences for their protection adviser community and IP customers.

“The flexibility of ALLFINANZ provides continual improvement and rapid deployment of the new underwriting questions and rules. We look forward to building on our multi-year relationship with National Friendly,” he concluded.
