Uinsure has launched two new insurance journeys on its Adviser Platform, meaning advisers can now offer landlord property owners insurance, including property portfolios, as well as liability insurance for trades people and professions. This can be done in under 90 seconds.
Through the Adviser Platform, advisers can protect their clients who require cover for multiple properties, commercial lets and blocks of flats whilst also having the facility to quote public and employer’s liability for over 500 different types of businesses.
Traditionally, these journeys have been very time-consuming but by integrating them into Uinsure’s Adviser Platform, intermediaries are able to apply in as little as 90 seconds with simplified, intuitive quote journeys that are reflective of Uinsure’s market-leading mainstream home and BTL experiences.
Martin Schultheiss, Uinsure’s Group Managing Director, said:
“Uinsure’s new property owners and trade and profession journeys have been developed using our industry-leading technology to simplify traditionally more time consuming applications. And now, for the first time, advisers can apply online in the same way they can for standard home insurance.
“After launching a pilot, we had resounding feedback that made it clear the new journeys have enabled partners to expand their own offerings and convert policies they previously wouldn’t have considered after straightforward product training. We’re now very much looking forward to taking this further and opening up these journeys on a national scale as a result.
“This new functionality will not only generate additional income for advisers but reinforce our belief that Uinsure is continually offering and developing the most effective solutions for anything in the general insurance space.”
Ed Jackson, Nest’s Managing Director, said:
“Since we’ve had online access to the new journeys it’s changed the way we look at our clients and do business. After some quick product training with Sean and his team, we’ve been able to place many more commercial enquiries than we could before, meaning we’ve been able to increase our own revenues whilst saving time.
“For anyone who’s looking to open up their proposition, and especially anyone who’s already doing GI themselves, it’s an absolute no-brainer because the process has been made that easy.”
Uinsure is holding training workshops for firms and individuals who are looking to expand into these areas. To register your interest in a workshop, click here.
Uinsure has launched its new insurance division, Uinsure Specialist, to handle non-standard and commercial referrals.
Uinsure is working with wide panel of insurers which include, Ageas, Covea, NIG, Zurich, RSA, Pen Underwriting, Q Underwriting, Midas, Prestige, AXA and Commercial Express to ensure clients with more specialist or complex insurance needs can access comprehensive and competitive products across a wide underwriting footprint.
Martin Schultheiss, Group Managing Director, said:
“We’ve been piloting Uinsure Specialist since December 2020 with a number of our key partners’ clients. Uinsure Specialist moves us further forward in our mission to remove insurance complexity and deliver fair value in a digital age. It’s a great example of how technology can help to deliver much better experiences across a wider spectrum of insurance needs.”
A key focus for the new division will be to make sure that insurance risks which fall outside of Uinsure’s standard product range can be insured with the most efficient and frictionless experience possible. For example, properties undergoing building works, long term unoccupancies and a wide variety of non-standard construction types can now be referred by advisers through the Uinsure Adviser Platform.
In addition, commercial referrals for property portfolios, blocks of flats, commercial properties, liability cover for self-employed people, shops, offices and the vast majority of SMEs can all now be serviced by the new team.
Schultheiss added:
“Advising on complex insurance needs can, in its very nature, be a difficult process. Using our technology, we’re able to streamline this once complex process so even advisers who have clients with unusual or traditionally difficult insurance needs will benefit, because of the service Sean and his team can now offer.”
Sean Thompson, Specialist Insurance Director, heads up the new division that will handle all Non-Standard Home and Commercial insurance referrals submitted through the Uinsure Adviser Platform.
Sean, commented:
“By launching the new service, we’re able to harness Uinsure’s industry-leading technology to simplify the referral process and the client experience, while ensuring we develop strong panels and products that match the mix of referrals we receive. The ten-month pilot has allowed us prove strong quote and conversion and we’re now very much looking forward to supporting advisers in a wider capacity.”
