1. Enhancing the Transfer Process: Equitable's New Signature Guarantee Service Equitable^® is making transfers even easier with EZcomplete^®.
   
   This enhancement will help advisors and clients by reducing the number of rejections from other institutions that need a signature guarantee. Reducing transfer rejections means less time and effort for advisors, and faster transfers from other institutions. 
   
   Signature Guarantees
   Equitable will now offer signature guarantees on most transfers requested through EZcomplete. 
   
   When is a signature guarantee not available?
   
   •  For entity owned accounts
   •  If a Power of Attorney is signing on behalf of an owner
   •  If the transferring account has an irrevocable beneficiary 
   
   Watch the quick Identity Check with Persona video or read through instructions below. 
   
   
   
   
   
   To offer a signature guarantee, Equitable first needs to check the identity of all owners using Persona, a third-party service provider.
   The advisor starts by selecting a signature guarantee in EZcomplete. An email link is sent to all proposed owners.
   
   
   Clients can click the link within the email to Persona's verification process.
   They will be prompted to take a picture of their photo ID and a selfie, turning their head slightly left and right by following the prompts.
   Their identity can then be confirmed in seconds.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Sending Transfer Forms:
   •  If all owners' identities are verified, Equitable will send the transfer form with a signature guarantee stamp and the e-signature audit log to the transferring institution.
   •  If ID verification fails, clients will be prompted to try up to three times. If still unsuccessful, the transfer form and e-signature audit log is sent to the transferring institution without the signature guarantee stamp.
   
   Handling Issues:
   •  Advisors’ obligations to verify ID is not affected by this process; ID verification is still required.
   •  If the client times out or loses the email to access Persona, the advisor can resend the link.
   •  If the client’s name or email changes after ID verification, the advisor will need to redo the ID verification with the updated information to get a signature guarantee.
   
   This update strives to make processes smoother and more efficient for everyone. Just another reason to do business with Equitable. When we work together, success is mutual.

5. Reminder: Beneficiary designations for children’s CI policies When a critical illness (CI) insurance policy or rider is issued for a minor, it’s important to ensure beneficiary designations accurately reflect clients’ intentions. Without a beneficiary on file, or with a minor designated without a trustee, an approved claim may need to be paid to the court or the Public Trustee. This can cause delays at a time when families may urgently need access to support.
   
   Help clients name a beneficiary on their juvenile critical illness policy today. This isn’t just a safeguard to avoid court or Public Trustee delays at claim time. It’s a reflection of your expertise and care.
