Underwriting excellence
We’re dedicated to securing the best underwriting solutions for your clients. Being industry leaders equips us to do this. Learn more about our underwriting team and resources for your business.
Our industry firsts and differentiators
- We’re among the few insurance companies in Canada with a proprietary Life Underwriting manual, backed by a dedicated research team. Our manual helps us to deliver true value to you and your clients.
- We were the first to insure diabetics and HIV-positive applicants.
- We were the first carrier to launch accelerated underwriting – changing the face of insurance – and the first to use AI, with MAUDE (Manulife Automated Underwriting Decision Engine). When your cases are approved on completion of the tele-interview, you’re notified instantly through a new business notification. Currently, MAUDE approves 40% of cases and we’re aiming for more.
- We have an Impaired Risk Underwriting team for diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and stroke cases.
- We continue to stay at the forefront of underwriting. We research and develop beyond medical impairments; we constantly monitor the changes in medicine, geopolitics, and the economy to anticipate underwriting changes and how we can use this knowledge to think differently.
