The Cumberland Building Society has partnered with cloud-based technology platform Uinsure to offer home insurance to its members.
The collaboration aims to streamline the process of getting home insurance quotes through The Cumberland’s branches, mortgage team, or online.
Uinsure will provide quotes by selecting from a panel of top insurers.
John Linton (pictured), product and governance manager with The Cumberland, said the partnership should ensure customers have a simple way to arrange home insurance in keeping with the building society’s ‘Kinder Banking’ purpose.
Linton said: “By partnering with Uinsure, we can ensure our members can access quality home insurance cover that could meet their needs without unnecessary complexity.
“They will have the choice of using Uinsure’s platform via The Cumberland website or speaking to us in person.”
Amy Evans, chief new business officer at Uinsure, said more financial institutions were recognising the importance of embedding insurance into their customer journeys.
Evans said: “The Cumberland has always prioritised providing top-level support to the communities it serves, and we’re both humbled and grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with their team.
“Our continued expansion is a direct response to the growing demand from firms eager to offer insurance directly to their customers, aligning with our shared ambition of making insurance simple, fair, and accessible.”
