Growth of e-trading confirmed by L&G

This rapid take-up of the service can be seen as further evidence of the willingness of advisers to adopt new working practices.

The e-Protection Choices site allows brokers to arrange a bespoke package of family, personal and mortgage protection benefits.

To already be receiving such a high number of electronic applications shows that the package of good value products and easy to use technology is what advisers want."
