Qnect Updates
In QBE, we strive to make things better for you. As part of ongoing efforts, our teams have made significant initiatives on Qnect functionalities to let you stay ahead of the game. We have mentioned most of the below in our previous communication but you may find it helpful with a short recap below.
• A Simpler Interface New!
To provide a streamlined and optimized user experience with Qnect, we are undertaking a series of revamps to enhance the interfaces and workflows on Qnect. We have introduced the New Header Toolbar of late with a simpler, cleaner design and features grouping allowing users to locate various Qnect functions and reports with ease. For more details, please refer to the Qnect New Header Toolbar – Quick Guide.
• Renewal Dashboard
Other than fast track polices in all status and quick view of eRenewal Notice from Qnect anywhere, whenever needed 24/7, you could download eRenewal Notice and a summary list of polices to assist you in managing renewal at your fingertips.
• Quotation Dashboard
All quotation requests can now be submitted through Qnect, even for specialty risk products. Through a single point of quotation entry on Quotation Dashboard, you can view your quotation submissions and track the progress status online.
• Pay Fast
This feature allows you to issue a one-time payment link to your clients, collecting premium of issued policies. Payment can be made instantly online in a secured manner without the need of cheque and paper forms.
• Standalone EC Risk
It is the market norm that many insurers do not want to do EC risks on a standalone basis. At QBE, we give you an edge to quote for standalone EC risk through our Qnect BIZ, in a way you won’t miss out clients who have such need.
• SME / BIZ - Premium Adjustability
Over the past months, we have received feedback from our intermediaries our Qnect SME and BIZ products are priced on the high side which does not help them close more business with their clients. Starting from 15 October 2020, our default commission for new business will change to 30% which means a lower premium for your clients and hence increase your chances of closing the deal. We have also introduced premium adjustability through varying the commission levels from 30% up to 40%. This flexibility brings you closer to the deal utilising your profits.
