Agent Services for LBL Life Commissions and Licensing Moving to Third-Party Administrator
Lincoln Benefit Life (LBL) is transferring agent-related services from Allstate to Alliance-One Services, Inc. on January 22, 2018. These changes apply to the agent maintenance, licensing and commission functions. As a reminder, Alliance-One already provides policy-related service for most of LBL’s life policies.
What’s Changing?
* Alliance-One will handle agent commissions for life insurance policies (excluding GenBuilder) sold by LBL agents, including policies that continue to be serviced at Allstate.
* Licensing and agent maintenance for LBL agents (independent agents in the MBA channel) will be administered by Alliance-One.
* Life commissions will be paid monthly instead of weekly.
* Life commission statements will no longer be mailed and will be available to download
from
life.lbl.com.
* Broker-Dealers or agencies paying life commissions direct to registered representatives will need to download commission statements from
life.lbl.com to obtain the commission activity for those representatives.
* Assignees will no longer receive life commission statements.
* For assistance with registering on the website, call 888-338-1038. For all other licensing and commission inquiries, email
LBL_Comm@dxc.com or call 844-768-6777.

* The current payment mode on file, check or electronic funds transfer (EFT), will remain in place.
