Carriers’ Updates

Canada Life

For Canada Life to process and accept non-face-to-face (“NF2F”) applications in good order, check out the guidelines attached CL NF2F Process Chart.

Some key points are highlighted below:

1. Verification of client ID – if the client is new, their ID must be verified and must be indicated on the Advisor’s Report “Client’s identification was verified through video conferencing.” Note if your application is for universal life, a new client must be identified using the Dual process (NPOI) method.

2. Send the NF2F form at the same time as the application – To minimize any confusion or delay with processing, always send the form at the same time the application is submitted.

3. If electronic signatures are being used, submit the electronic summary with the audit trail at the same time as the NF2F form.

4. Use one form per application – If clients want two single life policies, two NF2F forms are required.

Contact Carol Ng at Carol.Ng@CanadaLife.com or (604)377-7203, or Hinris Chan at Hinris.Chan@canadalife.com or (604)443-8247 for any questions you may have.

A common theme between the panelists is they’ve each taken the time to check in with their client’s mental well-being which they’ve found naturally opens the conversation to talk about their financial plans that can be supported through the products we offer.

News from the Insurance Council of British Columbia

Last week to renew your license without penalty!

Send admin@wayfinancial.ca a copy of your renewed license to have it distributed to the relevant carriers to ensure your business processing and compensation payments carry on without interruption.  Do not send us the payment receipt as carriers do not accept this as a record of your renewed license.

The filing fee for this year is $225 (including government fee). After June 1^st, all filings received will be subject to a late fee ($200) for a total of $425.

Please be aware that any licenses not renewed via annual filing by July 31^st, 2020, will be terminated automatically for non-filing.

How to File

You can complete your filing online at insurancecouncilofbc.com/annualfiling.

Filing consists of:

1. Completing your filing declaration
2. Remitting the annual filing fee

See Filing Instructions.

Deadline to Complete Continuing Education Extended

The deadline for Insurance Council licensees to complete annual continuing education (CE) requirements for 2020 has been extended to the following year, May 31^st, 2021. Licensees will still need to complete annual filing for this year by June 1, 2020 even if you haven’t completed your CE credits yet.

Go to the Council’s website for more information on the extension, including a Q&A.

CE Records: Your License, Your Responsibility

Licensees are required to keep a record of their continuing education (CE) for five years and make sure to keep a copy of your course completion certificates and course content information. If you are audited by the Insurance Council, you will be asked to provide your records at that time. Ultimately, it is the licensee’s responsibility to demonstrate that they have met the CE requirements for their license if audited.

For questions about how many CE credits you are required to complete annually, or what qualifies as technical content, visit ICBC website for more information.

Disciplinary Decisions

Jennifer Wai Yin Mok, a former licensee, was disciplined for contravening the Insurance Council’s Rules and Code of Conduct by falsifying insurance applications and placing policies with intent to cancel. The former licensee was found to have failed to act with competence, trustworthiness, in good faith, and in the usual practice of dealing with clients, and also failed to deal with the Insurance Council in a prompt and honest manner. The former licensee was fined $5,000 and assessed investigative costs of $4,187.50. Further, Council will not consider any further licensing applications from the former licensee until the fine and investigation costs are fully paid.

Best regards,

Administration Department

Dear Members,

COVID-19 Update

It is encouraging to hear from our provincial government on the progress in halting the spread of COVID-19.  Everyone should continue maintaining high level of personal hygiene and be mindful of the following when you enter the office:

• Sanitize your hands and put on a face mask;
• Keep a good distance when communicating with each other in person; and
• Ask your visitors to do the same above.

Our Processing and Accounting teams remain in full-day service while training sessions and client seminars are convened virtually.

Send us an e-mail for any enquiry or request you may have:

• • process@wayfinancial.ca (for business related matters)
  • account@wayfinancial.ca (for compensation related matters)
  • admin@wayfinancial.ca (for licensing, E&O and other matters)

We will be following the Government’s advice over the next few weeks and inform you when in-person sessions such as training will reconvene.  Let’s continue our efforts to keep this virus at bay.

Carriers Updates

iA

iA has confirmed that ExamOne will do paramedical for life cases greater than $3M or $50K minimum premium or CI cases greater than $1M with iA.  This means you can still offer larger coverage for your clients now and not need to wait.

Contact Rishu Bains at rishu.bains@ia.ca or (604)354-2711 or Jackie Singzon at jacqueline.singzon@ia.ca or (604)220-7692 for more details.

Canada Life

Canada Life is introducing the New CI Term 20, which is available from May 25^th onwards, to give your clients more options and flexibility to satisfy their needs in different stage of lives, up to $3M. Your clients can convert from CI T10 to T20, and CI T20 can convert to designated Level Premium Term to age 75 or Permanent Level paid up at age 100 plan.

At the same time, LifeAdvance CI will also be repriced, with price decrease for Term 10 and Level Premium Term to age 75, and price increase for the rest of the plans.

Concourse 4.3 will be ready for download in RepNet on May 25^th, 2020 to reflect the new features and rates.

Business Processing Updates

Policy E-Delivery

Given the various updates by carriers on new e-delivery of insurance policies, here is a quick summary for your reference:

Canada Life

• An e-version of the policy along with delivery documents is available on your Repent NBN around 3 days upon underwriting approval.
• Send signed documents to the Office for policy placing as per usual.

Equitable Life

• Advisor will receive an e-mail directly on e-policy and will sign in to e-sign, after which the document will be sent to their clients to e-sign.
• Download copy of delivery receipt signed by both advisor and client and send to the Office.

iA

• Client will receive e-mail from Carrier directly on issuance of policy.  Advisor will be copied in the correspondence and is expected to go through the message with their client.
• No signatures required so forward the e-mail to the Office in the case the Carrier missed sending process@wayfinancial.ca in the original e-mail notification.

New Business Submission

Please remember existing new business processing guidelines (submission with compliance package) remain unchanged.  A policy delivery without the new business package or relevant documents is not compliant and Processing Team will give the member a deadline to submit the required documents, after which all processing for the member’s business can only be halted until compliant requirements are satisfied.

For members using existing and still valid compliance documents, please indicate note “reusing CP” along with your new business package or e-mail so Processing Team will not deem those documents as outstanding and hold your business processing.

Feel free to reach out to the Processing Team for any question.

Compliance Rules and Regulations – Guidelines on Rebating

This is a friendly reminder of the current guidelines on rebating.

Financial Institutions Act

Part 3, Division 4, Section 79 (1) :

Rebates of premiums prohibited

A person, in relation to the sale of insurance, must not, directly or indirectly, pay or allow, or offer or agree to pay or allow, a rebate of premium or part of it or other consideration or thing of value intended to be a rebate of premium, unless the rebate of premium is less than a prescribed amount or percentage.

It is further interpreted in Section 2 of the Marketing of Financial Products Regulation in the Financial Institutions Act that:

Permitted rebate of premium

For the purposes of section 79 (1) of the Act, a rebate of premium must be less than 25% of the premium.

The BC Financial Services Authority has a more clear explanation that rebating is permitted as long as the amount being rebated is less than 25% of the first year gross premium only.

Members should adhere to these guidelines and ask Stephen Lai if you have any question at stephen.lai@wayfinancial.ca or (604)279-0866 ext.114.

The June 1^st deadline for renewing your license is fast approaching.  Send admin@wayfinancial.ca a copy of your renewed license to have it distributed to the relevant carriers to ensure your business processing and compensation payments carry on without interruption.  Do not send us the payment receipt as carriers do not accept this as a record of your renewed license.

The filing fee for this year is $225 (including government fee). After June 1^st, all filings received will be subject to a late fee ($200) for a total of $425.

Please be aware that any licenses not renewed via annual filing by July 31^st, 2020, will be terminated automatically for non-filing.

How to File

You can complete your filing online at insurancecouncilofbc.com/annualfiling.

Filing consists of:

1. Completing your filing declaration
2. Remitting the annual filing fee

See Filing Instructions.

Licensees will still need to complete annual filing for this year by June 1, 2020 even if you haven’t completed your CE credits yet.
