Radius Bank Expands Marketplace with the Addition of Life Insurance Through Ladder

BOSTON (PRWEB) August 15, 2019

Radius Bank, a forward-thinking online bank, announced today the expansion of its digital marketplace to include life insurance offerings through Ladder. The integration allows Radius' personal banking clients to apply for and, if eligible, obtain a life insurance policy in a matter of minutes. This new partnership with Ladder is the latest example of the Bank's vision to create a marketplace of curated and innovative personal finance offerings catered to the needs of today's consumers.

Millions of Americans start the process of buying life insurance but never finish because of outdated, time-consuming and confusing processes. Ladder has changed that by redesigning the purchasing process with an easy online application for instant decision making. Customers can get a free, instant quote online and, if qualified, choose to receive immediate coverage. And because a person's needs change over time, Ladder has built a product that is flexible and can be adjusted at any time, all online.

"We first introduced our Marketplace in October 2018 when we upgraded our mobile app and online banking platform with the goal to provide our clients one central place to find best-in-class financial products," said Radius Bank President and CEO, Mike Butler. "We are the first FDIC-insured financial institution to bring the benefits of Ladder to consumers and are thrilled to partner with a company that is leading the charge in revolutionizing the insurance industry."

Clients can apply for life insurance with Ladder through Radius Online Banking, the Radius Mobile app or the Radius website. They will then answer a few simple questions within the Radius Bank platform to determine their eligibility, desired coverage amount and length of coverage. Upon completing the application, clients will immediately receive an eligibility decision from Ladder.

"Radius is staying ahead of the curve when it comes to understanding what customers need and, more importantly, want for their financial well-being," said Ladder Co-Founder, Jeff Merkel. "We are excited to help ensure their customers are covered when they hit major financial and personal milestones like owning a home and starting a family."
