Assureweb for iPhone. The first comparison App for advisers, and it’s free!
Assureweb have announced that they are launching a free mobile App, Assureweb for iPhone. The easy to use App allows advisers to compare real-time rates for term assurance products from all the key providers. The App is totally free of charge and is fully integrated with Assureweb’s free portal www.assureweb.co.uk. Advisers or their Administrators can login to the portal and access client data keyed on their mobile device, allowing them to work on the move and make the most out of their time.
Assureweb for iPhone is the free element of Assureweb’s mobile offering – Assureweb Mobile. By using their proven web services Assureweb can create bespoke Apps for customers who wish to add their own brand, logo and make use of much richer functionality. Assureweb Mobile goes beyond the term assurance offering, allowing advisers to access Annuity, Income Protection, Term and Whole of Life products.
Mark Wilson, Sales and Marketing Director at Assureweb said “Our aim was to make mobile technology accessible to financial advice firms across the UK. Assureweb for iPhone allows advisers to make the most out of business opportunities while on the move. We are talking to some of the UK’s largest advice firms and look forward to announcing the launch of our first customised App in the near future.”
Assureweb Mobile was developed by Assureweb and Omnium, a Sydney based technology firm. Omnium’s Director Dr David King said: ‘By having our Australian app be the world’s first, we knew it wouldn’t be too long before we got interest overseas, and to have our first international exposure be in the UK is great, because it such a huge market for life insurance, and has close similarities to Australia’.
Andrew Riddett, IT Director at Assureweb said “Working in collaboration with Omnium we have been able to leverage our Application Program Interface (API) to develop the UK’s first comparison Protection App. We have a number of exciting plans for further developments and will listen to our customers’ feedback to shape these further.”
