One-time PAD functionality for Daily/Guaranteed Interest Account

Key benefits of these enhancements include:
• enhanced rate guarantees to secure the best rates available for clients,
• daily updated interest rate guide informs you of the latest rates,
• interest rate guarantee valid for three business days, for direct deposits from clients.

Be sure to use EZtransact on your next DIA/GIA one-time deposit request to experience these improvements.

Going digital with Pivotal Select Fund Facts
Did you know, with every new policy, your client should receive a copy of Equitable Life’s Pivotal Select™ Fund Facts (Form #1366)? Did you know you can send it electronically?

Over the last year, more and more advisors are opting out of traditional paper. Instead, advisors are going digital. Here are the top three reasons why.
1. Clients receive the information quickly and conveniently.
2. Advisors are confident clients are receiving the most current version available.
3. Advisors can easily adhere to regulations. When providing the client with a link to the electronic Contract and Information Folder (Form #1403), it is easy to also provide a link to the Pivotal Select Fund Facts.
Make it easy and convenient by getting in the habit of going digital.
Does your client prefer a PDF brochure with Fund Facts for all the available funds? Download your copy by logging on to EquiNet®. For more information contact your Regional Investment Sales Manager.
