The Guarantee Company of North America has announced the availability of a free app that provides client and brokers of GUARANTEE GOLD – which focuses on high net worth customers – with a secure way to receive weather alerts, make claims and access helpful resources.
Available in Google Play, Blackberry World and iTunes App Store, the GUARANTEE GOLD mobile app can be downloaded to a smartphone or tablet, notes a press release from The Guarantee, which offers expertise in niche segments, including the surety industry, corporate programs, transportation industry, credit and customized personal insurance.
The app’s enhanced functionality allows users to, among other things, do the following:
• access real-time weather alerts across North America, including weather warnings and insurance-related tips;
• submit a claim and be contacted by a representative;
• access tips and actions to take in a collision, theft or water damage incident;
• find a broker and access broker contact information for quick reference; and
• alert a broker of desired changes to a GUARANTEE GOLD policy.
The weather report feature is customizable for multiple locations, says Marilyn Horrick, The Guarantee’s national vice president, GUARANTEE GOLD.
Noting that water damage claims have become the largest type of claims in Canada, “this app allows the customer to monitor the weather, receive alerts and related tips and stay one step ahead of the event,” Horrick says in the statement. It “puts awareness and control into our customers’ hands, helping them prepare and prevent potential damage to their homes and belongings.”
