You can receive quotes in minutes* for Group Life schemes between 3-499 members with our 24/7 online quote portal, Accelerate. Best rates first time and apply online to go on risk. Please register your interest by emailing ebportal@metlife.com.

* There may be instances where an Underwriter decision is required. If so, our standard turnaround time is 3 working days.

If your client would like to accept a quote, follow the steps below to arrange cover.

Confirm the quote you are accepting and send this over to our in-house sales team via email at ebnewbusiness@metlife.uk.com, who will be able to place the policy on risk subject to the caveats being answered on the quotation.  

Please provide the following if known:

  • Start date
  • Will the client be using the MetLife Master Trust (Registered Group Life policy only)? 
  • Payment method (Cheque, Standing Order, Direct Debit etc)?
  • Payment frequency (annual, monthly etc)?
  • Will the payment be made by the insured company? 
  • Annual review Date?
  • Confirmation that the assumptions are correct? 

 

Once we have the above confirmed we can then proceed with placing the policy on risk. Please note, in order to place a policy on risk, we will require all caveats to be confirmed in writing, (email is acceptable) by 3pm the day prior to inception. 

At this stage you will be sent the proposal form and Master Trust form (if required) by your Account Manager or a member of the sales support team. The completed proposal form can follow within 30 days of the policy’s inception date. 

Forms are available to download from our document library.

Once you have confirmed the quotation that your client would like to go on risk with, our sales team will process the request and confirm when the policy is active. The invoice and accounts will follow in due course.

If any members need medical underwriting we will let you know so that a Health Questionnaire can be completed. 

1. The employer should complete the initial policy details.

2. The member should complete questions about their lifestyle and medical history.

The MetLife Master Trust helps reduce administration and cost for your client. All employers wishing to insure lump sum death benefits for their staff with a MetLife Registered Group Life policy can choose to participate in the MetLife Master Trust. All they need to do is sign a Deed of Participation which is included at the end of the proposal form here.
