Zurich’s personal protection and income protection products are now available on the UnderwriteMe protection platform.
Zurich’s products will be available through a small number of distributors initially, with wider plans to expand to other distributors in the future.
Zurich becomes the eighth insurer to offer a ‘Buy Now’ option for income protection on the platform, helping advisers deliver protection solutions through a single application process.
UnderwriteMe’s platform enables users to answer just one set of health and lifestyle questions to receive underwritten ‘Buy Now’ offers from participating insurers.
Andrew Doran, CEO at UnderwriteMe, commented: “We’re delighted that Zurich has joined the UnderwriteMe protection platform as one of our insurer partners. Being able to offer advisers access to Zurich’s personal protection and income protection products marks a significant step forward in UnderwriteMe’s growth this year and enhances our proposition further.”
Louise Colley, retail protection director at Zurich, added: “Joining the UnderwriteMe protection platform is an exciting development for Zurich, creating a new route for advisers to access our personal protection and income protection products. Following the initial launch with a smaller group of distributors, we will extend access more widely across the platform over time.”
