SimplyBiz has enhanced its partnership with iPipeline, allowing members further access to the latter’s protection sourcing tool at a discounted rate.
Solution Builder from iPipeline is a quote, research, and application portal which supports advisers throughout the protection advice journey.
The deal was introduced as the first phase in an enhanced relationship between SimplyBiz and iPipeline, which will also see further collaboration on functionality in the future.
Emma Vaughan, head of protection and health solutions at SimplyBiz, said: “We are 100% committed to adding value and efficiencies for our member firms wherever we can, and our enhanced deal for Solution Builder from iPipeline definitely fits both of those criteria.
“With the implementation of Consumer Duty only six weeks away, ensuring the suitability of a recommendation to a client – and the ability to evidence the process behind that recommendation – has never been more important, and I’m pleased to be able to offer access to this market-leading solution to our members at such a preferential cost.”
She added: “iPipeline’s objectives are aligned to our own and I’m proud to be deepening our partnership with a business which shares our dedication to innovating, and constantly looking for new ways to improve the provision of protection advice, for both advisers and clients.”
Stephanie Hydon, director, client distribution at iPipeline, said: “At a time when Consumer Duty shines a brighter light on protection, it is even more important that advisers have access to the best technology, delivering the recommendation process (and best client outcomes) simply and efficiently.
“By choosing SolutionBuilder, SimplyBiz has invested in protection, in their advisers and, ultimately, in protection.”
