A carrier portal connection lets Policy Stack pull current policy values directly from your carrier's online portal, so your dashboard stays current without manual data entry between annual statements.
Carrier portal connections are available for a growing list of carriers. If your carrier is not yet supported, manual snapshot entry works exactly the same way — see Understanding Policy Snapshots for details.
Why Connect Your Portal
Annual statements arrive once a year. Your actual cash value, loan balance, and death benefit change every month — dividends credit, interest capitalizes, PUAs accumulate. Without a portal connection, your dashboard only reflects those changes when you manually enter a new snapshot.
A portal connection lets Policy Stack pull current values on a more frequent schedule so your Data Freshness stays green, your charts show smoother trajectories, and you can see the effect of events — like taking a loan or making a loan repayment — reflected quickly rather than waiting for the next statement.
Benefits at a glance:
- More frequent dashboard updates without manual entry
- Loan balances and capitalized interest stay current between statements
- Data Freshness indicator stays current automatically
- Historical snapshots created automatically from portal data, building richer chart history
