Peace Hills Insurance Launches CSIO eDelivery, Obtains Certification

The Centre for Study of Insurance Operations (CSIO) is pleased to announce that Peace Hills Insurance has implemented CSIO eDelivery, enabling the electronic transmission of personal lines policy documents directly to consumers’ Canada Post epost^® digital mailboxes in place of traditional mail.
