Compliance is important. Efficiency is too. And the IMSA Annuity Suitability Certification Clearinghouse is where the two intersect to streamline suitability responsibilities while eliminating the costly and inconvenient administrative toll associated with annual certifications.

The Clearinghouse is designed to reduce the compliance burden on both insurance companies and their selling partners by providing a “one-stop” facility to meet the compliance requirements of the Suitability in Annuity Transactions Model Regulation. This new compliance technology enables an insurance company to request and obtain annual certificates from those third-party distributors with whom they have selling agreements.

Third-Party Distributors
A Third Party Distributor (TPD) may be a general agency, a broker dealer, a bank, an independent marketing organization or any distribution group that has a selling agreement with an insurance company. Instead of sending multiple certificates to all of the companies with whom you have selling agreements, this service enables your company to provide one certificate to satisfy all companies and manage it all through a convenient web interface.
   Insurance Companies
Imagine the convenience of managing all of your selling partners' annual certifications from an easy web interface, and virtually eliminating your compliance burden. The Clearinghouse provides an efficient solution to obtaining required annual certifications and relieves you and your staff of these compliance obligation challenges.
