An innovative range of Smart Solutions to boost your employees' journey to success
Our growing range of Smart Solutions provides employees with information to enhance their financial knowledge, stay on top of their employee benefits and make better informed decisions about their money and financial future.
Smart Counsel
Educating and informing employees on their benefits, helping them make better informed decisions.
Our Smart Counsel services are designed to positively influence the financial behaviour and choices of all employees. Accessible through a range of diverse channels, we give employees the education and information necessary to develop a better understanding of how to derive more value from their benefits. All is done in easy-to-understand, jargon-free language.
Our counsellors are here to help
Default retirement regulations require that all retirement funds provide retirement benefit counselling to their members. Our counsellors help members make informed product choices, based on their needs, by helping them understand financial concepts like their:
- Default investment portfolio.
- Default in-fund preservation option for when they move between employers before retirement.
- Annuity strategy to make sure that they are able to convert their retirement savings into a retirement income.
- Any other benefits and options available to them.
Employee engagement channels
All forms of engagement and communication are aimed at simplifying often complex information and, in doing so, educate and help members through their decision-making process. Employees can access our services through the following channels:
Telephonic service
We provide dedicated telephonic and email assistance. Our benefit counsellors are proficient in most of the 11 official languages of South Africa, like isiZulu, Sesotho, isiXhosa, Afrikaans and English.
Smart Conference
We hosted the first educational member conference in 2019 to help members on their journey to a comfortable retirement. Topics included the importance of having a will and deciding on the right annuity at retirement.
Digital engagement
Employees have access to easy-to-use digital platforms to help them make better informed financial decisions at key points on their life journeys.
Smart Exits
A first-of-its-kind solution, helping employees make better financial decisions when they resign.
When an employee resigns from employment, Smart Exits gives them an overview of the amount of money in their retirement savings now, and at retirement. It also shows them how much tax they will pay, if they decide to take their benefit in cash. It helps them make informed decisions by creating awareness about the importance of keeping their retirement savings invested.
Smart Exits also reduces your administrative burden when an employee withdraws from the Fund.
Smart Retirements
A user-friendly "try before you buy" platform, helping employees understand their retirement savings.
This digital platform makes it easy for employees to grasp and evaluate our annuity solutions, and helps them understand the impact different decisions will have on their retirement. It also highlights the effects of tax if they decide to take an amount in cash when they retire. Smart Retirements helps employees feel more empowered to make the right financial decisions.
Employees are never alone during the process. Over and above the tips and educational information that they receive, they can get in touch with our Smart Counsel team or request advice from a financial adviser at the click of a button.
Smart Underwriting
The first group insurance digital underwriting solution available in South Africa.
This is a solution that allows employees to complete their underwriting by answering a few short, easy-to-understand questions about their health and lifestyle in a fully secure and private digital space. It only takes an average of 10 minutes and feedback is immediate, so at the end of the process, employees know the result.
Employees will receive personalised health tips and guidance, based on their health profile. This creates awareness of potential health risks and may trigger the appropriate change to their lifestyle.
