See Our Enhancements on the Annuities Website

July 30, 2019

We’ve made big changes to standard.com/annuities. We’ve developed new features and functionality to create a more customized experience with easier access to rates and product training tailored to you.

Some changes you'll see:

  • Rates available online anytime and the ability to download and print your own rate cards.
  • Product training is moving to RegEd, an industry standard for annuity training. See below for more information on completing your training.
    • If you have already completed product training, no action is needed. You will not need to retake on RegEd.
  • Easy access to unaffiliated or distributor-specific product pages showing a customized product portfolio, product spreadsheet and printable rate cards.

To locate your customized product pages:

  • Start at standard.com/annuities.
  • Select your distributor in the drop-down menu or select “not affiliated with a distributor or distributor not listed.”

Important information for RegEd product training:

  • Once you have selected your distributor option, choose “Complete NAIC Product Training” and continue to RegEd. Make note of your just-in-time code we provide in the pop-up text. You will need to use this code on the RegEd website to access your training. Example: SIC-ABC
    • Unaffiliated producers will use our standard training code.
    • Producers affiliated with our listed distributors will have a unique training code.
