About the my Sun Life Mobile app
Depending on your plan, policy or contract, the my Sun Life Mobile app lets you access your information in one convenient app. And even if you don’t have any Sun Life products, the tools and calculators in the my Sun Life Mobile app will help you understand and make decisions about your benefits and investments.
Depending on your plan set-up, if you belong to a group benefits plan or you have personal health insurance coverage with us, you can submit a claim, view claims paid within the last 90 days and access your drug and travel cards. You can check coverage details for health, drugs, vision care, health spending and personal spending accounts. You can also rate healthcare providers when you submit certain types of claims, and search for healthcare providers in your area.
If you’re a group retirement services plan member, you can make lump-sum contributions, view your account balances and review your transaction history.
You can also view balances and details of mutual fund accounts and segregated fund contracts purchased from a Sun Life Financial Advisor.
You’ll also have convenient access to tools, videos and tutorials to help you understand and make decisions about your benefits and investment plans, as well as additional products and services to complement your workplace plan. You will also find valuable local resources to help you lead a healthier life.
Using my Sun Life Mobile
Yes, lump-sum contributions to workplace investment accounts are processed the same way as on a desktop. If you submit a lump-sum contribution before 4 p.m. ET, we will process it overnight based on that night's closing unit values. If you request a transaction after 4 p.m. ET, on a weekend or holiday, it will be effective the next Sun Life Financial business day and will be based on the closing unit values for the next business day.
If you invest a lump-sum contribution in a stock fund, it will take us an additional business day to process it and we’ll base it on the trading price/unit value in effect for that day. We’ll hold this transaction as pending until it is fully processed.
Note: For now, you can’t make lump-sum contributions to your personal investments with the app.
Claims submitted either through the my Sun Life Mobile app or online through mysunlife.ca are settled immediately and if approved, any reimbursement amount is usually deposited into your bank account within 2 business days.
Note: Occasionally, longer processing times for claims may occur if we need to conduct an additional review or if some banks take longer to apply the transactions.
Depending on your plan, you can access coverage details concerning:
- Extended health, dental and vision care (including deductibles, maximums, eligibility)
- Health spending and personal spending accounts (including remaining balances) and
- Drug coverage (including amount covered and additional information)
The drug coverage information helps you when discussing your prescription medications with your doctor or healthcare professional. It includes potential generic and/or therapeutic drug alternatives, detailed information about the drug and how it works and a history of your drug claims submitted over the past 12 months.
Tools & calculators are available from the Help menu for everyone without signing in to the my Sun Life Mobile app. You can use them to learn more about saving today for a more financially secure tomorrow.

A few employers are still reviewing the my Sun Life Mobile app for their group plans and have chosen not to make it available to their employees right now. If this is the case for your plan, you won’t be able to access your account on the app. You may also see this message if you have products that aren’t currently supported on the app. To access your contract information, you can continue to sign in to mysunlife.ca from a desktop or call us at 1-877-SUN-LIFE (1-877-786-5433). You can also use the tools, videos and tutorials on the my Sun Life Mobile app to help you understand your benefits and investment plans.
If you’ve entered an incorrect email address, Access ID or password, just tap 'OK' and re-enter them. For your convenience, the my Sun Life Mobile app can save your email address and Access ID if you select 'Save my Access ID.'
If you can’t remember your email address, Access ID or password, you’ll need to visit mysunlife.ca and select either I forgot my Sign-in ID or I forgot my password. You’ll need to enter information about your plan, so please have this information handy. If you enter your email address, Access ID or password combination incorrectly 3 times, you’ll be locked out of both my Sun Life Mobile and mysunlife.ca.
