SWBC Payment Protection Group is modernizing the way borrowers file payment protection claims. The company has unveiled an enhanced borrower portal that allows clients to submit claims and supporting documentation online, including fully fillable Spanish-language forms. The move promises faster processing times and a more inclusive digital experience.

The new portal is designed not just for convenience—it’s a strategic upgrade for lenders. By providing a self-service platform, financial institutions can offer borrowers a smoother, faster claims experience while reducing manual processing burdens on staff. In a market where speed and accessibility can define customer loyalty, SWBC’s portal positions lenders to strengthen relationships and enhance operational efficiency.

Accessibility and Inclusion Take Center Stage

A standout feature of the portal is its Spanish-language support. Borrowers can now complete claim forms entirely in Spanish, digitally sign them, and submit them for review. This step reflects broader fintech trends prioritizing multilingual accessibility in digital financial services—a segment that has historically lagged behind.

“Offering Spanish-language claim forms is a critical step in making the process more seamless and inclusive,” said Melissa Piehl, Director of Payment Protection Claims. “These resources enable our team to review and resolve claims more efficiently, benefiting both borrowers and our financial partners.”

Streamlined Self-Service for Faster Processing

The portal allows borrowers to complete the entire claims process online. From form submission to documentation upload, everything is digitized, eliminating the need for paper forms or manual interventions. According to SWBC, this significantly reduces turnaround times for claim approval, a clear advantage in an industry where delays can frustrate both borrowers and lenders.

“These enhancements reflect our ongoing commitment to innovation and customer service,” said Joan Cleveland, President and CEO of SWBC Life Insurance Company. “By expanding language support and improving accessibility, we’re ensuring that every financial institution has the tools they need so they and their borrowers can manage their claims confidently.”

The launch aligns SWBC with competitors who are increasingly investing in digital self-service solutions, from AI-assisted claim processing to multilingual support portals. As borrowers expect seamless online experiences in banking and insurance, tools like SWBC’s portal may become a baseline expectation rather than a differentiator.

For lenders looking to integrate the portal, SWBC offers dedicated support and guidance, ensuring that financial institutions can leverage the platform without disrupting existing workflows. More details are available at swbc.com/payment-protection.
