Assurant provides British Insurance with protection suite
FINANCIAL ADVISER - 8TH FEBRUARY 2007
Britishinsurance.com has launched a new range of payment protection products designed for the broker market by Assurant Solutions.
In addition to underwriting this new suite of products, Assurant Solutions will also manage claims and administration on behalf of Britishinsurance.com.
The suite of products includes mortgage payment protection, loan protection and income protection. All products offer full back to day one cover and provide protection for accident, sickness and unemployment.
Simon Burgess, managing director of Britishinsurance.com, said: "The team at Assurant Solutions shares my own view that the needs of the customer lie at the heart of any successful insurance product, and they are focused on delivering payment protection insurance that provides real value for consumers. Advisers have a duty of care to provide their clients not only with the best advice, but also with the best cover available. I am convinced that this new range of protection products that Assurant Solutions has created for Britishinsurance.com gives them access not only to comprehensive cover, but also outstanding value for their clients."
Assurant Solutions specialises in creating insurance products including mortgage and loan payment protection, income protection, personal accident, personal property protection, and credit card price and purchase protection.
The business works with financial institutions, intermediaries, brokers and high street and home shopping retailers to design, develop, underwrite, administer and market these niche insurance lines.
Ian Moffatt, managing director of Assurant Solutions, said: "We have developed a close relationship with Mr Burgess and are delighted to help him support intermediaries as they endeavour to provide their customers with insurance cover that is suitable for their individual needs and budgets."
