Incisive Media and Synaptic Systems have teamed up to relaunch IFAonline a free and transactional service for IFAs.
The site, set to launch in March, will include product information, single and comparative new business quotations, and transaction capabilities that will allow IFAs to complete business online.
When the site launches, users will have access to term assurance and investment bonds. Critical illness, income protection and annuities, Stakeholder and personal pensions are expected to be added by the end of the first quarter.
The current IFAonline site offers daily news, market views, portfolio services and a product provider data base. However, the new site will combine the editorial resources of Incisive Media, publishers of COVER, with Synaptic's comprehensive product database and e-commerce tools.
Jeska Harrington, online director at Incisive Media, said: "IFAonline.co.uk is dedicated to making life easier for IFAs. Our deal with Synaptic Systems will add the full capability to select and ultimately buy products with ease. Providing financial decision support tools is a key step towards our ultimate goal."
Supporters of Synaptic's tran-sactional tools include AXA Sun Life, Legal & General, Friends Provident and Scottish Provident.
