Access a range of annuities
I have an Asset Administrator adviser account
- Online annuity quotes can be accessed via a single sign-on from Asset Administrator.
- You can enter your client’s details into Asset Administrator from the Open an account screen, selecting ‘annuity’ as the product type. This information will prepopulate the annuity quotes and applications.
- Select your annuity client from your client list and select Apply for a Challenger annuity to apply for a new annuity, or move a maturing Challenger annuity to Asset Administrator.
- Select or create a quote and complete the remaining questions on Challenger’s e-application, including online identity verification.
- After lodging the electronic application and client approval, the annuity will be funded using the approach that you specified in the application.
- Once funded, Challenger will issue the welcome pack, and we’ll let you know that this is available in the Asset Administrator document library, for you and your clients to access.
At this stage, we’ll issue a welcome email to your client, and if they are new to Asset Administrator, they will also receive the registration details to access their annuities online.
Ongoing management is also made simpler, with email notifications for key transactions, easy maintenance of linked bank accounts, and access to annuity correspondence via the document library.
I don’t have an Asset Administrator adviser account
If you don’t have an Asset Administrator account, check that your dealer group licensee offers Asset Administrator and register for an Asset Administrator adviser account.
To set up an annuity please follow the instructions under “I have an Asset Administrator account”.
