Great Eastern boosts digital tools amidst COVID-19 pandemic

Authorisation of policy purchases will be simplified.

Great Eastern Life Singapore is enhancing its digital capabilities to provide better service to clients amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a news release.

The insurer said that it will be introducing additional tools in the coming months that will allow representatives and customers to co-browse interactive screens on mobile devices and simplify authorisation of policy purchases.
