Zurich Launches New Protection Platform

Zurich has announced a brand new Life Protection Platform for advisors to make it easier to recommend and buy products, as well as service customers. Income Protection and Multi-fracture cover products were added, and the insurer made improvements to its existing Life and Critical Illness cover with discounts available for customers with multiple policies.

 

The Income Protection and Critical Illness policies are available in two levels: ‘Core’ will provide an entry-level but extensive breadth of cover, and ‘Select’ will give more comprehensive, feature rich protection. Customers will have the flexibility to move between the two as their circumstances change.

 

Free confidential telephone-based counseling is on hand to support customers with everything from legislative and taxation enquiries, family and work-related issues, relationship problems, financial difficulties, stress and anxiety, substance abuse and bereavement.

 

 

“We’ve asked advisers and customers what they need and have completely redesigned our products and services to offer greater flexibility with slicker and speedier systems. In a world that demands 24/7 access, Zurich’s Life Protection Platform is about offering advisers and customers choice and convenience – both around how and when they choose to manage their policies and the type of cover available.  The range of conditions covered, and new features like our Multi- fracture cover and optional children’s benefit, reflect current lifestyles and the fact our lives and those of our families constantly change. Importantly, our new platform gives us the ability to evolve and develop our offering. These are significant changes for us but there’s much more to come. We’re confident that we’re offering market-leading products, underpinned by first class service and support so that more people can secure crucial cover to support them through life’s ups and downs.” – Zurich’s Head of Market Management, Peter Hamilton.
