Policy servicing
Typed service requests and money-moving transactions that are quoted before they are committed.
Servicing covers the two things a policy administrator does all day: answering a service request, and changing money on a live policy. Service requests are typed and channelled — address change, beneficiary change, name change, lienholder, payment method, coverage inquiry, duplicate document, NSF, arriving by portal, phone, agent or email — and each opens with an SLA clock and closes with a completion stamp against the user who closed it.
Money changes are quoted first. Asking for a cancellation returns the whole refund breakdown — written premium, days in force against term days, earned, unearned, short-rate penalty and the refund due to the insured — without touching the policy. Only on execution does the platform write the cancellation, append the policy event and move the policy to cancelled. Pro-rata, short-rate and flat are all supported; short-rate carries a penalty on the unearned portion, and the refund arithmetic is a tested, dependency-free function rather than a spreadsheet formula someone re-derived.
Life and annuity servicing goes further, because the numbers there are constrained. A policy loan above the available loan value is refused, not warned about; a partial withdrawal above cash value on a life policy or account value on an annuity is refused the same way. Beneficiary changes snapshot the entire prior designation set as a stored before-value before writing the new one — so a contested beneficiary is a record, not a reconstruction.
What it does
- Open, route and close typed service requests across portal, phone, agent and email, each with an SLA due date.
- Quote a cancellation pro-rata, short-rate or flat and return the refund breakdown without writing anything.
- Execute the cancellation as one transaction — cancellation record, policy event and policy status together, or none of them.
- Reinstate a cancelled or lapsed policy and record the reinstatement as its own event.
- Build instalment billing schedules — annual, semi-annual, quarterly, monthly or EFT monthly — with down payment and per-instalment amounts computed.
- Refuse a life policy loan above the available loan value, and a withdrawal above the available cash or account value.
- Capture the full prior beneficiary set as a before-value on every beneficiary change.
