• Extend payment coupon framework

  The payment coupon framework has been enhanced to allow for additional flexibility when scheduling payment holidays. Changes include:

  • Payment holidays can now be scheduled in advance for a future date.
  • Root now supports different types of coupons: payment holiday and ad-hoc coupons.
  • RootClient SDK functions to be used in module code have been exposed to create/cancel/redeem/reverse coupons.
  • Coupon lifecycle hooks have been updated.
  • Data exports now support payment coupons.

• Ability to select from existing payment methods in the policy issuing flow

  Previously when issuing a policy from an application, the dashboard did not display existing payment methods for the selected policyholder. We added the ability to select existing payment methods (if there are any for the specified policyholder) for n improved dashboard experience.

• Next collection day has been added to the payment method card of the policies view

  The next collection date has been added to the payment method card in the policy view. This is the actual date on which the premium is collected. This takes into account weekends, public holidays and product module settings i.e. lead time.

• Fulfilment Requests data source

  The fulfilment requests data source has now been added to the data export tooling (Platform / Web).

• The policy & fulfilment requests datasources have been extended

  • The payment method object can now be referenced from the policy data exports.
  • The policy object can now be referenced from the fulfilment requests data exports.

If you have any suggestions or feedback, please share with your account manager or submit it via the Root product roadmap so that we can take it into account.

Let's build this awesome new future of insurance together 💪
