The Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association (CLHIA) is making its full suite of consumer brochures accessible on mobile devices.
CLHIA explains the initiative is part of its commitment helping to increase the financial literacy of Canadians by making access to consumer information on the industry’s products and services as easy and convenient as possible.
Topics covered by the brochures include life insurance, supplementary health insurance, disability insurance, long-term care insurance, and segregated funds.
One relatively new resource that has proven to be extremely valuable is CLHIA’s Virtual Shoebox Guide. Since it was launched by the association two years ago, Canadians have downloaded this online tool that helps keep track of personal and financial documents and related information more than 17,000 times.
“We hear that Canadians love this tool. They can get all their financial information organized in one place. And if they pass away or can no longer look after their financial affairs, it’s so much easier for a loved one to step in”, says Frank Swedlove, CLHIA president.
The brochures are available on the CLHIA website at www.clhia.ca.
