 A growing chorus of financial commentators is raising the alarm about financial repression. While definitions of this term differ based on political stance, financial repression can be loosely defined as measures taken by a government to channel investments to themselves that would naturally be invested elsewhere. For example, efforts in an emerging market nation to stem capital outflows by implementing high currency reserve requirements would be considered financial repression. Recently, some experts have become concerned that repression may be applied in the U.S. to combat high debt levels. To address this concern, Advisor Monitor firms are releasing new educational resources and commentaries aimed at discussing this phenomenon and finding ways that advisors can explain the issue to clients.

 USAA’s new mobile life insurance app provides its members with the ability to get a personalized quote and to apply electronically. Non-members can receive a customized quote as well but must register before applying. In addition to downloading the app, these capabilities can also be accessed from the mobile optimized website.
The initial app screen provides the user with a general description of term, whole and universal insurance products. Once the Life Insurance Quote feature is selected, the member must verify some basic personal information and answer a few health questions about their medical history, smoking habits and physical characteristics. The app extracts information from the member’s account, and pre-fills as quote information – a valuable feature which expedites the time taken to get a quote. The next screen allows the user to choose a product, the amount of coverage they want, desired payment option and where relevant, the benefit period or payment duration. Members can answer all of the application questions that have not been pre-filled from our member’s personal information on file. Once the member has verified that the information provided is correct, they can electronically sign the application. Upon submission of the application, a medical exam is scheduled and paid for by USAA. It is worth noting that users are not covered until the medical results are received and the policy is fully underwritten.

 As shown by last month’s Mobile Trend blog post, mobile finance is booming. As customers are looking to create new accounts at financial services firms, questions like “do you have a mobile app?” and “what can your mobile app do?” are becoming increasingly important to the decision. Apple and the iTunes store may be tight lipped about the download numbers of their mobile apps, but the Google Play store (formerly the Android Market) makes download statistics readily available to their consumers. Using the Mobile Monitor coverage group, which spans across the banking, credit card, brokerage and asset management financial segments, this month’s mobile trend take a look at the popularity of financial offerings on the Android OS.
