Equitable Now Accepts eSignatures on all documents (Ind. Ins. & S&R)
View the Guide to completing eSignatures
What are the benefits?
● It’s secure because you no longer need to upload or email documents to us.
● It also removes a step in the process for you - we will get the eSigned documents directly once all signatures are completed and therefore you no longer need to notify us once the documents are signed.
● Your documents will be processed quickly and efficiently.
How does this work?
● Including esign@equitable.ca as a non-signing reviewer is the preferred method as it ensures the security embedded documents are accurately and immediately available for Equitable. We will be automatically notified when signing is complete and will download eSigned forms immediately for processing.
● If not using esign@equitable.ca we require the original signed form and audit trail with all the security features intact.
● The email addresses used to sign must match what is in our file (as provided on the application, for electronic policy delivery or through previous communication). If an email address has changed, or we don’t have an email contact for the signer, we will follow up for confirmation.
● We will accept all eSigning Vendors that have the functionality to place the eSignature in the correct signature fields on all applicable documents. If the eSigning vendor does not have the functionality to do this, we cannot accept it.

Easier group enrolment and more group benefits updates
Make enrolment easier for your clients with online plan member enrolment (OPME)
Enrolling new plan members can be overwhelming – for both you, your clients and their employees. It’s time-consuming to manually load new members and challenging to ensure they complete the necessary paperwork before the enrolment deadline.
Our Online Plan Member Enrolment (OPME) tool is available at no extra cost for all your Equitable Life clients and offers a more secure and efficient alternative to traditional paper enrolment. Using their computer or mobile device, employees can enrol in their benefits plan in just minutes.
The user-friendly tool allows plan members to easily enter all their enrolment information, including:- Dependent details
- Banking information for direct deposit of claim payments
- Details for coordination of benefits
- Beneficiary designation
The days of chasing plan members for their paper enrolment forms are gone. Once plan administrators enter a few employee details, our system automatically sends an email to each plan member, inviting them to enrol in their benefits program. And there will be no need for your clients to send reminders or follow up with employees about their benefits enrolment. It’s all done automatically.Support with using OPME
To learn more about the benefits of using OPME, check out our Online Plan Member Enrolment Flyer. We also encourage you to share more information with your clients: We also have helpful reference guides for plan members, to help them use the tool:- Online Plan Member Enrolment Quick Reference Guide
