Zurich has added its updated income protection plan to the CIExpert Insight Zones, making it the seventh insurer to participate.
Zurich’s personal and business life cover and critical illness plans, plus personal income protection, are now available to all CIExpert subscribers.
CIExpert’s Income Protection Insight Zones continue to expand, with Zurich the latest in a growing number of insurers recognising the importance of equipping advisers with easy access to product insights.
CIExpert’s Income Protection Insight Zone offers advisers a ‘birds-eye’ view of all policy options, including detailed information on income multiples and payment periods together with sections containing policy information, eligibility, occupation type, deferred period, claims options, cover guarantees, priority occupations, and return-to-work features and benefits.
Paul Roberts, proposition and distribution director at CIExpert, said: “Zurich’s decision to join our Income Protection Insight Zones is a further endorsement of the value they deliver to insurers, advisers and consumers.
“With every Insight Zone signed-off by each insurer to confirm accuracy, the important role they play in advice, compliance and Consumer Duty requirements cannot be understated.
“At CIExpert, we’re deeply committed to protecting incomes properly for individuals and their families to deliver the financial resilience that they need.
“That’s why we’re excited to welcome Zurich into our Income Protection Insight Zone and to continue their development further as we continue our plans to enhance our Income Protection support for advisers and their clients.”
Louise Colley, protection director at Zurich, added: “Our updated Income Protection plan delivers much needed certainty and clarity for both advisers and consumers and we are delighted to highlight this within CIExpert’s Income Protection Insight Zone.
“Not only do the Insight Zones provide fully accurate details of all our features and benefits they deliver a deep insight in the value our features and benefits offer consumers of today and in the future.”
