Sesame provides choice for advisory firms with addition of Uinsure

22 January 2018

Sesame Network has strengthened its general insurance (GI) offering for member firms and their customers with the addition of GI provider Uinsure.

Operating exclusively through mortgage brokers and IFAs, Uinsure offers a full suite of GI products, including buildings and contents, buy-to-let, non-standard, commercial, along with accident, sickness and unemployment insurance.

Commenting on the announcement, Jeff Woods, Business Development Director, Sesame, said:
“We have had great success in helping our members to provide home insurance advice to a greater proportion of mortgage customers. Last year this led to a 37% year-on-year increase in GI quotes, so we know that GI is increasingly important to our members and the appetite is there. We want to build on this, and strengthen our GI offering further, to make it even more competitive.”

Woods continued: “Uinsure is well established as an award-winning GI provider offering advisers quality products through one of the fastest quote and supply systems on the market. Our new partnership delivers choice for firms and will create more opportunities for advisers to talk to their customers about their general insurance needs, as part of our drive to continually enhance our services and support for members.”

Simon Taylor, chief executive at Uinsure, added: “We are very pleased to be working with Sesame and its members. At Uinsure our focus is always on delivering a proposition that can drastically improve our brokers’ businesses and release their potential and it’s an ethos Sesame Bankhall Group clearly shares. It’s forward thinking proposition complements our own and as such I’m delighted that we will be working together to service the intermediary market.

“This partnership marks another major achievement for Uinsure in what is shaping up to be a fantastic year for the company. We’re experiencing phenomenal growth at present and have many more exciting developments on the horizon. 2018 is set to be a defining year for Uinsure.”

Sesame member firms can now choose Uinsure or Paymentshield for their GI business. These two companies provide financial advisers and their customers with access to a wide range of competitively-priced GI products underwritten by the UK’s leading insurance brands. In addition, Sesame members also have access to GI provider CETA for specialist household insurance.
