SimplyBiz has appointed HSBC Life to its SimplyProtect range of provider partners.
SimplyProtect is SimplyBiz’s dedicated protection proposition, offering education, structured training, and development opportunities.
This includes audience-specific regulatory guidance, digital and in-person events, and online training material.
SimplyProtect members also have the support of a range of provider partners and enhanced commission rates.
SimplyProtect users can now access HSBC’s full range of protection products, including life and critical illness and life and critical illness plus.
In addition, users will benefit from HSBC Life’s programme of support, including its underwriting tool, online business reports, such as early warning notifications, commission information, and technical centres.
HSBC Life has engaged with SimplyBiz’s Managed Distribution Service.
Emma Vaughan, head of protection and health solutions for SimplyBiz, said: “HSBC Life has quickly become one of the most talked about names in protection, with its critical illness proposition in particular recognised by research tools as matching those of much longer-standing providers.
“In addition to the quality of HSBC’s products, its eagerness to work with us across the spectrum of our services has been really impressive and shows a fantastic commitment to our member firms.
“I am positive HSBC Life will be warmly welcomed to the SimplyProtect panel and I am looking forward to our members getting to find out more about its proposition over the next few months, kicking off with our upcoming Protection Roadshows which start on the 31st of October in Basildon.”
Mark Hussein, chief executive officer at HSBC Life UK Ltd, and had of insurance UK, added: “We are looking forward to forging a long- term strategic relationship with SimplyBiz. By adding HSBC Life’s range of products to its protection panel, SimplyProtect will be able to offer its members access to increased product choices.
“This is key to ensuring clients and their families are fully protected and the very best customer outcomes are achieved.”
HSBC Life joins Aviva, Zurich, Guardian, Legal & General, LV=, Royal London, Scottish Widows, The Exeter, Vitality and AIG on the SimplyProtect panel.
