CONTRACT APPLICATION FORMS FOR ANNUITIES AND GIF HAVE BEEN UPDATED

As of May 2023, new versions of the annuities and GIF contract application forms are available on Webi. You must now use them as they meet the regulatory requirements according to the anti‑money laundering and tax evasion efforts as well as the identity verification.
