Quotey has expanded its commercial insurer marketplace with the addition of Wawanesa Mutual Insurance Company. This integration includes Wawanesa’s contractor insurance product, enabling Canadian contractors to get fast and competitive insurance rates.
According to an emailed news release, broker partners of Wawanesa who utilize the Quotey platform can now obtain immediate, fully bindable quotes for various contractors, such as landscapers, plumbers, electricians, and flooring contractors.
The service is facilitated through a direct connection to Wawanesa’s suite of APIs, the release added.
Quotey CEO and co-founder Nick Kidd commended Wawanesa for continuously finding ways to “make it easier for brokers to work with them.”
“We’re thrilled to be part of their digitization journey and help brokers access their products in seconds rather than days and weeks,” said Kidd.
Graham Haigh, Wawanesa’s SVP & chief operating officer - West, also emphasized the benefits of this integration for both contractors and brokers.
“Contractors are busy, and so are commercial brokers,” said Haigh. “That’s why we want to make the process of getting the right insurance coverage fast and easy. We’re investing in new tools, such as Quotey, that allow us to get competitive quotes to brokers in moments – helping us provide great service, saving people time, and furthering Wawanesa’s growth in the Canadian commercial insurance market.”
The contractor insurance packages are the first of several Wawanesa products to be added to Quotey in early 2024. The platform is expected to extend its offerings to include solutions for retailers and professionals and enhanced functionality for a better broker experience.
Quotey launched in 2022 in all Canadian provinces except Quebec, where it will be available this year. It is billed as the country’s first multi-insurer commercial lines quoting and cover comparison tool for brokers, with a platform that costs only $10 per month per user.
Earlier this month, Quotey introduced cyber insurance specialist CFC to its roster of insurers.
