Nationwide Life Insurance worked with SuranceBay to enable bi-directional integration between SureLC and their home office system(s). As of June 20th, submitting requests is easier and the turnaround time is drastically reduced for you and your agents through this automated workflow. You'll find out right within SureLC approved/declined responses and much more!
Supported Request Types for Direct Integration
- Contracts
- Transfers
For Hierarchy, Additional States, or Payment (EFT account change request) - you should continue submitting these requests types as you normally would
How It Works
On the last step within SureLC, you will see an indication that reads: "Will Be Submitted Electronically", as shown below (Contracts and Transfers only).
After you "Process" the request, you will receive an email with a PDF copy of the paperwork for your records. Please note, the PDF file that you receive will be watermarked with "Electronically sent to carrier, do not submit."
Nationwide will receive the data and contract directly for automated processing on their end, there is nothing further you need to do.
Contracting paperwork is sent to Nationwide electronically every hour. So, upon follow-up with the carrier they should have everything to process the request within 2 hours after being processed by the agency.
