John Hancock Annuities Adds E-Delivery Options To Award-Winning Web Site
New "Email Alerts" and "Recent Activity" tools help advisers monitor activity
BOSTON, April 7 -- John Hancock Annuities has added new electronic delivery features to its award-winning web site, http://www.jhannuities.com, in an effort to help financial advisers monitor their clients' account activity. "Email Alerts" help advisers by providing next day email notification of financial transactions in the accounts with a consolidated delivery of daily activity. Another newly introduced tool, "Recent Activity," allows authorized advisers to review financial transactions that have occurred in their book of business over the most recent seven-day period.
"Financial advisers are increasingly looking for new ways in which to effectively and efficiently manage their business, and John Hancock has been at the forefront of efforts to offer useful tools to help them," said Tom Mullen, Vice President, Marketing, John Hancock Annuities. "These new options are easy to set up and can be customized by transaction type for payments, withdrawals, portfolio exchanges, and contract and rider fees."
John Hancock Annuities' web site was recently honored with multiple wins in the 2009 Annuity Monitor Awards, presented by Corporate Insight, a leader in the ongoing review of annuity industry websites. John Hancock Annuities was awarded more gold medals in 2009 than any other company and was the only firm to earn three consecutive gold Monitor Awards in two categories--Public Home Page Navigation and Client Account Information.
In 2009, http://www.jhannuities.com introduced numerous upgrades to contract detail information including: expanded personal rates of return, faster navigation via a new universal menu that offers direct access to key client resources, newly added help functionality, and emphasis on eDelivery.
