Customer access is a secure area of the Sun Life Financial website. It offers your clients a convenient self-serve view into their individually owned Sun Life Financial insurance and investments. You can assure your clients that the Customer access site is very secure. We've created our site following the best practices used in the industry. Some of the security features include:
With these and other practices, we are protecting your client’s privacy online.
Once your client signs in to Customer access, their individually-owned insurance and investment plans will be displayed with the exception of Personal Health Insurance, Health Coverage Choice and segregated funds. They can also see their personal contact information.

We've created the Customer access support tool to allow you to view your client's information in the same format that they see it in Customer access. You can use Customer access by visiting www.sunlife.ca/CustomerAccess to access your own personal accounts with Sun Life Financial.
Using the Customer Access Support tool, you can see the same information your client sees on Customer access with a couple of exceptions:
If your client owns a personal Sun Life Financial product, they can visit the sunlife.ca sign in page and select the Register button. They need to provide their policy number in order to register.
Promoting Customer access is an excellent way to demonstrate how you can provide leading edge and competitive services for your clients.
For security, it's important that clients initiate and complete the Customer access registration themselves. It's okay for you to encourage and help. It's not appropriate for advisors to register a client without the client's knowledge.
We don't currently support premium payments for insurance policies through Customer access. For web banking users, premiums can be paid through the online banking sites of most major financial institutions.
Yes, we track all visits to www.sunlife.ca to understand what areas of the site are being used most, to remember customers' personalized home page settings, etc.
Because of privacy guidelines we do not report on an individual customer's website activity unless the information is required to service their account. For example, if your client requested an address change online, you would be notified of that change so that you can continue to provide service. However, if your client visited the careers page on our website, that information has no relevance to the servicing of their insurance and investments and therefore would not be reported to you.
Clients who forget their password can request a new password online. Or they can call the Customer Care Centre at 1-877-SUN-LIFE (1-877-786-5433).
Secure messaging allows your client to communicate confidentially with Sun Life Financial. Secure messages never travel through the internet as unprotected email, where they could be viewed by others. Messages are stored on Sun Life Financial's computers and can only be viewed by your clients when they sign in to Customer access.
If your client is the trustee of a plan, they must register for a separate Access ID and password to access a policy or account for which they are a trustee. This means they’ll have two different Access IDs and passwords.
For spousal policies, only the owner of the account may see it in his or her online insurance and investments in Customer access.
Clients are not able to access corporately-owned policies in Customer access.
For statements available online, you can view and/or print the statements using the 'View your documents' screen. For step-by-step instructions refer to the How to access statements online document.
For problems with passwords, IDs or general questions, your client can:
