Zurich Australia enters personal home insurance market

Zurich Australia is entering the personal home insurance market through an expanded partnership with Honey Insurance .

Beginning in October 2026, Zurich will underwrite and manage claims for Honey’s home, landlord, and motor insurance policies. The products will be distributed under the Honey brand and through partners including Bank of Queensland.

The companies said the offering will use data and technology to onboard customers in minutes and protect homes and vehicles against risks such as severe weather, accidents, and crime.

The expanded partnership follows Zurich and Honey’s March 2026 launch of pet insurance.

“Australians are increasingly seeking competitive and innovative solutions for the protection of their assets, particularly as the risk landscape continues to intensify,” said Alex Morgan, Head of General Insurance at Zurich.

“Zurich’s underwriting depth and claims expertise is the ideal complement to Honey’s digital platform and distribution reach. Together, we’re well placed to keep delivering the kind of smart, seamless insurance experience Australian consumers deserve,” said David Krawitz, CEO of Honey Insurance.
