EZtransact enhancements: New “Internal Transfer” and “Other Institution” options
At Equitable®, we’re always looking for ways to make it easier to support clients. That’s why we’re excited to share new enhancements in EZtransact® that give you more flexibility and simplify transfer processes.
What’s new
As of January 22, EZtransact now offers:
• Internal Transfers that streamline digital movement of investments between eligible client accounts within Individual Wealth.
• An “Other Institution” option when you’re initiating an external transfer. This means you can request transfers from financial institutions that are not listed in our existing dropdown menu.
These enhancements remove the need for manual workarounds and help ensure transfers are captured clearly and accurately the first time.
These updates support:
• Advisors working with Individual Wealth clients
• Clients who need to move investments either within Equitable or from another financial institution
To transfer funds between existing Equitable contracts, simply go to EZtransact, select Make a Transfer on the policy you want to receive the funds, and view your client’s existing contracts all in one place.
Use the new “Other Institution” option to start transfers from any financial institution, even if it’s not part of the standard list.
You’ll see these enhancements in the “Make a Transfer” flow within EZtransact on EquiNet®. It appears right at the point where you select the financial institution for the transfer.
These updates are designed to:
• Give you more flexibility when managing external transfers
• Remove the need for manual steps or workaround solutions
• Help reduce errors that can happen during manual processing
• Improve efficiency for you and deliver a smoother experience for clients
You asked, and we listened! Keep providing us with your feedback on our digital tools. When we grow together, success is mutual. Get to know EZtransact! If you have any questions, please contact your Director, Investment Sales.

Give clients guaranteed retirement income with Payout Annuities
With increased market volatility and interest rates higher than we have seen for much of the past decade, now is a great time to consider payout annuities. Payout annuities can provide regular guaranteed income regardless of how markets perform.
Clients using only a Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) for retirement income are potentially vulnerable during times of market volatility due to the sequence-of-returns risk.1 When markets are down, more units are redeemed to cover income needs. When markets later rise, clients are not able to participate fully in the recovery because more units were redeemed to provide income. That is why having a guaranteed income component, like a payout annuity, as part of an overall retirement strategy is so important.
Three great reasons to consider Equitable Life® for your payout annuity business:
1. Choose from a variety of payout annuity options including:
A. Life Annuity – guaranteed income for one life
B. Joint Life Annuity – guaranteed income for two lives
C. Term Certain – guaranteed income for a specific period of time (5 to 30 years)
D. Term Certain to Age 90 – guaranteed income until age 90
2. Attractive rates, particularly in Registered and Term Certain Annuities
3. Step Up Your Wealth Sales program - 25% of payout annuity net sales qualify for the 0.75% bonus commission earned on net deposits for 20222
