Simplifying Data Exchange

The enrollment and administration of workplace benefits continues to evolve, however, the way data is exchanged has remained stagnant, resulting in laborious and time-consuming engagement among parties, widely varying data formats, and erroneous data being exchanged.

LIMRA Data Exchange Standards (LDEx) will change that! Having a common standard will reduce customer onboarding timelines, and reduce ongoing costs to insurance carriers, benefits administration platforms, brokers, and employers.
