AIG Partners With Beacon To Utilize Its Annuity Switchboard

Beacon Annuity Solutions, a leading provider of cloud-based annuity software and compliance solutions, today announced American International Group, Inc. (AIG), a global insurance organization, has joined a growing list of Annuity Switchboard partners.

Annuity Switchboard, a Beacon Annuity Solutions service, is a fully automated data delivery platform that connects insurance carriers to its ecosystem of distributors and software providers.

Annuity Switchboard's unique approach to automating the maintenance and distribution of annuity rate and product information ensure that an annuity provider's distribution partners have access to 100% carrier certified information to support their sales and compliance efforts.

"Throughout the years the annuity industry has become significantly more complex at both the product and regulatory level", said Jeremy Alexander, CEO Beacon Annuity Solutions. He added "While a source of reliable data is important to an annuity carrier's product and sales development, its critical to their distribution partners day to day operations."

Annuity Switchboard addresses this complexity through an easy-to-use interface that allows the provider to effectively manage and approve all its annuity offerings for each distributor down to the state level. Over time carriers experience less NIGOs and breakage resulting in reduced acquisition costs.
