    Aplifi has contracted with Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (Great-West) to place their annuity products on Aplifi’s AFFIRM for Annuities platform.

    Pompano Beach, FL (PRWEB) November 29, 2011

    Aplifi, a leading provider of Annuity & Life Order Management, Client Management and Electronic Document Delivery solutions for the financial services and insurance market segments, announced today that it has contracted with Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (Great-West) to place their annuity products on Aplifi’s AFFIRM for Annuities platform.

    AFFIRM for Annuities is a user friendly annuity order entry and compliance platform offering advisors the ability to quickly start and finish an annuity contract, all online. The platform also provides distributors, such as broker dealers, banks, and brokerage agencies the ability to easily manage the complex regulations required by both internal and external parties. AFFIRM for Annuities is currently used by thousands of organizations that submit billions of dollars of transactions through the platform each year.

    Great-West will be placing its annuity products on the AFFIRM for Annuities platform to support the needs of its many different individual annuity distribution channels. Their distributors will be able to submit annuity orders electronically that have pre-designed rules to help ensure proper compliance as well as dramatically decrease the time associated with an annuity application. The AFFIRM for Annuities platform will also support real time transactions with the DTCC for money clearing and eSignature that reduces the need for face to face meetings when not required.

    “We are very excited to have Great-West as a customer and join our family of annuity carriers”, said Dan Smith, CEO & President, Aplifi. “Great-West’s commitment to their distributors is second to none and it shows in their everyday actions.
