GREENWICH, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Zinnia, a leading life & annuity insurance technology services company, and LPL Financial (LPL) announced today a strategic relationship providing LPL’s network of more than 23,000 financial advisors a simplified way to find, recommend, fulfill, and service life insurance for their clients.
Policygenius Pro by Zinnia is a turnkey insurance platform that will help LPL’s network of financial advisors and credit unions accelerate life insurance sales and enable their clients to access the wide variety of insurers, coverage types, and policy options.
By leveraging these unique quoting tools from Zinnia along with its built-in referral processes, LPL advisors can significantly cut down on time spent on life insurance applications and cut placement times, while providing their clients top-tier customer service. LPL advisors receive support from a team of expert licensed insurance agents from Policygenius for case management, underwriting, and product support.
“Our goal is to help our financial professionals build a competitive business while serving their clients’ best interests and we're proud to work with Zinnia, which is paving the way in simplifying insurance for agents and consumers,” Tim Dona, SVP of Insurance at LPL, said. “Life insurance is a necessary component of any client’s financial plan, but the fragmented nature of the industry makes it challenging for our advisors to provide a smooth client experience in a timely manner. Aligning with Policygenius Pro is a huge step in the right direction to helping our advisors spend less time chasing administrative requirements and more time helping American families with their goal of achieving financial security.”
“Our solution simplifies the fulfillment process for advisors and is central to our vision to transform how advisors find, recommend, fulfill, and service life insurance for their clients,” John Borley, Senior Director of Business Development at Zinnia, said. “We’re excited to align with such an innovative institution that believes in our vision of building the modern rails of the insurance industry.”
