Toronto, ON (Sept. 5, 2019) \u2013 The Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA) has approved the use of electronic proof of automobile insurance (EPAI), or eSlips. Drivers in Ontario can now present their eSlips when required, without having to carry the paper copy. This change is effective immediately. Ontario joins Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Alberta and Quebec in allowing consumers the option of using eSlips.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt only makes sense that drivers in Ontario can take advantage of the same options that drivers in other provinces and jurisdictions can, for the convenience that digital pink slips can offer,\u201d said Ontario Finance Minister Rod Phillips.<\/p>\n
CSIO worked with many of its members to launch the My Proof of Insurance solution in February 2018. The My Proof of Insurance solution \u2013 available to CSIO members at no additional cost \u2013 was created in response to evolving customer demand for a more seamless, digital experience with their insurance providers. A January 2018 Insurance Bureau of Canada survey found 74% of Ontarians want the option of receiving their insurance documents online or electronically.<\/p>\n
Since the launch of CSIO\u2019s My Proof of Insurance, broker adoption has been strong and continues to grow across Canada. Most major broker management systems have also integrated with My Proof of Insurance, and dozens of insurers have chosen it as their eDelivery platform.<\/p>\n
Over the past two years, CSIO has met with regulators and stakeholders across Canada to address their questions and to build understanding of the industry\u2019s eDelivery solution.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are very pleased with the Ontario government\u2019s decision to approve the use of eSlips,\u201d says Catherine Smola, President and CEO of CSIO. \u201cElectronic proof of auto insurance is an example of the industry working together to focus on the needs of its customers. Regulators across Canada are taking heed and we expect the remaining provinces to work through the approval process in the coming months.\u201d<\/p>\n
