Our adviser charge process for online Retirement Account withdrawals is now digital. We no longer need to see a copy of the clients signature.

Advisers now have an online declaration and customers can get their money up to four days sooner than before.

To optimise our automated transfer process, we’re making it easier for advisers to provide correct ceding scheme details on our online transfer application. 

We’ve already integrated our automation with Origo to speed up elecctronic transfers, but it requires manual intervention if the ceding scheme details are incorrect.  Many pension providers have several legacy schemes to choose from,  so it’s no surprise  that 19% of online transfer applications contain the wrong scheme details. 

We’re making it easier for advisers to accurately complete this information by using the company name and policy number format that they provide to autofill the correct ceding scheme details, saving advisers time and reducing completion times for affected transfers by up to 4 days.   

We know that more providers and schemes are using Origo all the time, so there’s still the option for manually inputting scheme details if we don’t find an automatic match.  But we’re regularly updating our autofill functionality when new provider/policy number combinations are identified, so we can keep the delays to a minimum.

We’re doing a phased roll-out of the new funcitonality, starting with 50 firms (446 advisers), and hope to rapidly expand that across the board quite soon.  

Discover how you can save time through clearer comparisons, explore new features such as ISA allowances and flexible withdrawals, and see how the tool supports improved client outcomes and streamlines due diligence.

Here are details of the other improvements we've made so far.

We’ve enhanced our Illustrate & Apply process on Digital Account by improving the overall design and eliminating those pain points you’ve told us about.

The new, more intuitive design means that you should be clear on where you are in the application process at all times, and understand what you need to do to progress to the next stage, to submit an illustration and application.

Take a look at this short video below, showing examples of the changes made and how it now works.

How this looks

We’ve made changes to our DA landing page. With a more intuitive, user-friendly design and improved navigation - with prominent calls to action – it’s now easier for you to find the key information you’re looking for.  

See the improvements in our short video below:

Applications made via Digital Account for different products can be submitted without having to wait for one to complete before another can be started. This makes it easier and more efficient when applying for more than one product

For those of you who may not be aware, last year, we made changes to our bond claims process, to ensure you and your clients are kept informed of the key stages in the online bond claims journey.

There’s a new claim form for you to complete and, based on the preferences you select on that form, we’ll contact you and/or your clients to acknowledge the receipt of any onshore bond claims that come in via the paper or email route. Please make sure you have the new claim form and destroy any old versions of paper applications you have.

You can check the latest timescales for completing claims and issuing payments on our Bond withdrawal timescales page

If you’ve any questions on this process,  please speak to your Account Manager.

The Application Generation tool is back on PruAdviser. Our Application Generation Tool has been updated and can be accessed via the link below:
