Zurich launches life, critical illness products on UnderwriteMe

Zurich Insurance Group has launched its life and critical illness products on UnderwriteMe’s protection platform, with plans to roll out more intermediary products in due course.

The products will initially be available on Money Supermarket’s version of the platform, enabling distributors, including advisers, to access “buy now” prices from Zurich alongside all other insurers on the UnderwriteMe software.

The protection platform allows customers to access products from multiple insurers in one place with a simple application process.

Peter Hamilton, head of retail protection at Zurich, said: “We’re really pleased to launch life and critical illness products on to the Protection Platform. These offer comprehensive protection with a simple application process. Customers can also access free support services and flex their cover up or down as their lives change. This initial collaboration via MoneySupermarket extends our reach and allows us to provide more customers with much needed protection.”

Nilesh Patel, head of sales and marketing at UnderwriteMe, added: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Zurich to our list of Insurer partners on the Protection Platform. The platform is experiencing another record year in 2020 and so to add another strong insurance brand like Zurich will further improve our proposition.”
