Life Insurance Software

Life assurance is a long-duration business where policies live for decades. Ontech manages the full life policy lifecycle with recurring premium billing, beneficiary and nomination handling, surrender and maturity processing, and IFRS 17-ready measurement.

Definition. Life insurance software administers long-duration life and assurance policies — underwriting, premium billing, beneficiary management, surrenders, maturities and claims — over the many years a policy stays in force.

What life insurance administration requires

Unlike short-term general insurance, life products accrue value and obligations over time. The system tracks recurring premiums, lapses and reinstatements, policy loans, surrenders and maturities, and links each to the actuarial and IFRS 17 measurement (typically the General Measurement Model).
