Confirm each of your carriers accepts DTCC attachments to allow for electronic processing

Warning: Any carriers that DO NOT accept DTCC attachments will have to be sent documents by mail or fax.

Tip: Carriers can contact DTCC to enable these types of attachments.

Contact each carrier and confirm that all firm-specific products are added to the AnnuityNet platform.

note

Note: There are NO pre-packaged products. The products available to each firm vary based on pre-arranged selling agreements, so each carrier must add the specific products that are necessary for your organization to complete business.

Set up a plan to receive new product updates from each carrier.

Attention: Since each selling agreement is made on an individual basis between the firm and the carrier, Docupace CANNOT inform you of any new products.

Confirm with each carrier that esign eligible products are correctly tagged.

Tip: This is done by applying tags to each form through the Product Profile for Annuities (PPfA).

Confirm whether or not your firm has a DTCC relationship that includes annuity processing.
