WHAT WE DO HOW IT WORKS TECHY STUFF OUR TEAM CONTACT A systems upgrade for our industry UnderwriteMe makes buying and selling Protection easy and fast, without compromising on quality. We let intermediaries and customers deal with a range of insurers, using a single process from quote through to buy. The insurers retain their own underwriting rules and product differentiation, while those selling or buying their products can do so using one consistent process. UnderwriteMe means that you can see the effect of underwriting, in real time, during the process and gives complete transparency for those selling or buying cover. No more repetitive question sets, no phone calls to underwriters to find out what terms might be offered, no more logins for each insurer’s system and no more uncertainty about what might happen after applying. It’s a digital experience for a digital age. One journey Click to buy Instead of getting basic quotes then going to an insurer’s website to fill in all the medical and underwriting information, you can do the whole thing in one place. You can get quotes at any point of the process – fully underwritten and ready to buy or basic “quick quotes” to get an idea of prices. You can even jump around the questions in any order you like to see what difference a particular piece of information might make to the cost – all in real time. Different products from various insurers can be mixed and matched without having to answer a different set of underwriting questions and there’s no need to go to an insurer’s website to make the application. It’s all “buy now” ready in the UnderwriteMe system. We get paid by the insurer, so there’s no cost to intermediaries or customers using UnderwriteMe and it won’t affect commission or agency arrangements. The UnderwriteMe Journey People selling Protection love it: Being able to offer our clients a fully underwritten premium at the quote stage would bring a revolutionary change to the Protection market for both customers and advisers. Tom Baigrie CEO of LifeSearch And so do Insurers: We are delighted to be supporting the UnderwriteMe comparison service which is an innovative solution that improves the buying experience for both advisers and customers, providing a quick process for advisers to ensure they are obtaining the best value cover for each individual. Myles Rix Managing Director for Protection at LV= Engaging with innovative technology like UnderwriteMe has helped to transform our new business process – we’ve seen a 30% increase in business; and the feedback from advisers has been extremely positive, with many telling us how they find the system quick, easy and efficient which frees up their time to focus on clients.
