Neilson Group is excited to announce the recent addition of Zurich to the insurer panel for its online aggregator proposition which powers both Choozi and GoCompare’s life insurance offering.
This proposition sees Neilson offer a range of critical illness and underwritten life insurance products, together with guaranteed whole of life products for the over 50’s, direct to consumers who are looking to purchase cover online.
The addition of Zurich’s life insurance and critical illness products also extends to Neilson’s partnership with leading UK aggregator GoCompare, which was announced in September 2020.
Other available insurers on both panels are Aegon, AIG, BGL Group (Beagle Street, Budget Insurance and Virgin Money), British Seniors, Canada Life, HSBC, Legal and General, LV=, One Family, Post Office, Royal London and Scottish Widows - bringing the total number of insurers offered to 15.
Commenting on the addition of Zurich, Pippa Keefe, Neilson Group’s Partnerships and Strategy Director said “Our online aggregator service is a key, strategic proposition for Neilson Group and I’m delighted to be able to extend our range of insurers with a quality brand such as Zurich. This further increases the choice of products for consumers looking to purchase protection online, making it even easier for them to find the right cover at a competitive price.”
Louise Colley, Zurich’s UK Director of Retail Protection, said:
“We’re thrilled to be joining the Choozi and GoCompare insurer panels. This partnership will enable us to extend our reach, providing more customers with flexible and affordable life insurance products to support them through life’s ups and downs. All of our policies are underpinned by fantastic customer service with policy benefits like Zurich Support Services, which offers access to free counselling, therapy and 24/7 advice on a whole range of wellbeing and lifestyle issues.”
