SBLI (The Savings Bank Mutual Life Insurance Company of Massachusetts) announced it has partnered with Swiss Re to offer its customers Swiss Re’s Automated Claims Experience solution, a state-of-the-art digital tool that guides beneficiaries through the claims process.
“A life insurance policy is more than a piece of paper; it’s a promise of security and protection,” said Jim Morgan, president and CEO of SBLI. “Along with that promise, we are committed to ensuring beneficiaries receive the payments they are entitled to as quickly as possible. The Swiss Re Automated Claims Experience facilitates a more efficient process for beneficiaries, allowing families to focus instead on their grief and healing journey.”
Swiss Re’s tool uses simple empathetic language designed with the beneficiary in mind, with a goal of reducing stress and frustration at a difficult time. This streamlined approach results in fewer steps to resolve the claim, enables faster claim submission, and improves the overall experience.
“Delivering on our claims promises is at the heart of Swiss Re’s mission to make the world more resilient,” said Neil Sprackling, president US Life and Health at Swiss Re. “We’re delighted to partner with SBLI to help create a better experience for policyholders—especially when they most need it.”
Harnessing Technology to Provide Peace of Mind
Easily accessed through the SBLI.com Customer Portal, Swiss Re’s Automated Claims Experience is suitable when a beneficiary of a life insurance policy is a current or former spouse or direct family member.

Supporting documentation, including the policyholder’s death certificate, can be uploaded instantly using a mobile device or PC, expediting the process by eliminating the use of paper forms and reliance on mail delivery.
