MLC Life Insurance has enhanced its health and wellness program to let customers use their own fitness trackers or smartwatches.

The program, MLC On Track, was established in 2015 and uses fitness tracking technology to measure physical activity and reward customers with premium savings when targets are achieved.

“We’ve now made it easier for customers to join and be successful in the program,” Chief Customer Officer Retail Advised Insurance Melissa Heyhoe said.

New customers receive 5% off premiums for the first year of their policy for signing up to the program.

The discount continues each year as long as they reach their weekly target of 37,500 steps taken.
