Life insurance shouldn’t be a chore. That’s the ideology behind Modern Life, a tech-boosted brokerage that aims to streamline and simplify the process of buying life insurance for advisors and clients.
Its selling point is the cohesive and user-friendly nature of platform, which assists right through from advice to purchase. As well as allowing for easier management of appointments and submissions, it provides data-driven quoting and comparisons, has partnerships with over 15 major insurance carriers and is licensed in every US state. All this allows Modern Life to create a properly centralized platform, holding a broad range of options for clients and helping advisors to work more effectively.

- Own the problem: Modern Life was built in a spirit of entrepreneurship and innovation. We are problemsolvers who embrace challenges and make things happen. We value an ‘ownership mindset’ where you are willing to drive a business or technical problem forward and be accountable for the results
