In partnership with KPMG, Winchester Insurance Services and a range of other insurance companies and Lloyds underwriters, Heath Lambert aims to create a cost-effective way of trading insurance online, providing third-party administration solutions that can be added to an existing website or form the core of a new website, and be totally client branded.
The platform offers a ‘white label’ solution to clients such as affinity groups and financial service companies, enabling them to sell a range of general insurance products to their customers via the internet.
Users of the website can obtain online comparative quotations from a panel of eighteen insurers, and also accept cover, pay online and print policy documents.
Julian Wakeling, e-commerce director at Heath Lambert, said: “We set ourselves the challenge of creating a sustainable online business to business service that was leading edge, secure, flexible and cost-effective for all parties involved in the transaction.”
One of the first companies to sign up is leading online mortgage broker Charcol. Toby Strauss, managing director of Charcol, said: “Charcol-online and Heath Lambert make a good match in this market. This is the latest step in our drive to offer customers access to a broad range of financial products - online, over the phone or face-to-face.”
