To offer further convenience,My Sun Life HK has launched a new feature called Policy eContract to enable clients[1]to receive and view the electronic version of their policy contracts upon policy issurance.

My Sun Life HK is one of the key strategic initiatives in Sun Life's multi-year digital transformation journey. Committed to putting clients at the centre of everything we do,we have built and designed the app based on this client strategy.

The eClaims feature launched in December 2018 demonstrates how My Sun Life HK creates values with its client-centric design. As claiming insurance could be a critical yet time-consuming process to clients,the eClaims feature of My Sun Life HK enables individual insurance clients to submit hospitalization and accident claims through the app[2]. With the Company's Straight-Through-Processing system and the Faster Payment System infrastructure by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority,Sun Life will be able to settle and pay accident claims submitted through My Sun Life HK within 24 hours at the earliest[3],much faster than with paper-based claim processes.

The solution provided by DBS in Hong Kong to support the eClaims feature has been awarded Best Payment and Collection Solution at The Asset Triple A Treasury,Trade,Supply Chain and Risk Management Awards 2019.
