Securian Platform Connect: API Integrations

Connecting platforms through trusted partnerships

Through Securian Platform Connect, our API integrations program, Securian Financial helps benefit platforms exchange information faster and with less administrative friction.

Benefits administration platforms are where benefits become real for employers and employees. Enrollment, eligibility, evidence of insurability (EOI) and claims-related experiences all depend on accurate data moving between systems.

Our API connections and standards-based design support smoother setup and better digital experiences across key moments, from enrollment and eligibility to on-platform and online EOI.

Better digital experiences

Platform connections help support EOI, decision support and supplemental health claims experiences, where available.

On-platform evidence of insurability (EOI) solution

On-platform EOI allows employees to complete the EOI step within the benefits enrollment environment. This can help reduce administrative follow-up and make the process feel more connected for employees.

Partners that support on-platform EOI:

  • Benefitfocus
  • bswift
  • Businessolver
  • Empyrean

LDEx standards: Building more flexible connections for benefits administration

Securian Financial is prioritizing API connections that align with LDEx, LIMRA’s standardized data exchange format.

Rather than relying on one-off proprietary file formats, LDEx standards support a more consistent way to exchange data across the benefits ecosystem. For employers and channel partners, that can mean fewer manual workarounds, smoother implementations, reduced data errors and more flexibility as technology needs evolve.

Securian has focused on two LDEx standards that support key moments in the benefits administration experience.

  • Evidence of Insurability Standard
    The Evidence of Insurability Standard (EOIS) supports standardized sharing of EOI decision information after underwriting is complete. This helps platforms, employers and brokers receive decision data in a more consistent format.
  • Benefits Enrollment Management
    Benefits Enrollment Management (BEM) supports standardized enrollment data exchange between benefits administration platforms and Securian Financial. This can help improve data transmission, reduce errors and create more scalable connections over time.
