Independent insurance broker Westland Insurance has launched a new digital platform called Westland Express Insurance Services.
The introduction of the platform follows Westland’s 2021 acquisition of ZipSure Insurance Brokers and Nuera Insurance. In bringing together two of Canada’s leading digital insurance brokerages, Westland said it was able to design an “enhanced digital customer experience” that makes purchasing and managing insurance easy.
“This is a major milestone for us,” said James Malcom, vice president of Westland Express. “ZipSure and Nuera are synonymous with being successful leaders in the digital online insurance space and we’re excited to bring their capabilities together as Westland Express.”
Through the new Westland Express platform, clients have access to a seamless quotation process that provides transparent coverage and pricing options. The platform includes a variety of products for tenant, home, condo, pet and travel insurance that are available online at any time.
“Over 65,000 tenants agree – we've made tenant insurance better, and we’re just getting started,” said Malcom. “We pioneered the digital tenant insurance experience with our instant Ziptenant insurance solution, designed to provide affordable pricing, no cancellation fees, simplicity, and no long-term commitments.”
In line with its experience in tenant insurance, Westland Express has also partnered with referring landlords, property managers, realtors, mortgage brokers, and other rental property management organizations to provide additional convenience for those purchasing tenant insurance. These features include a self-serve portal that allows clients to access real-time reports from any device.

Westland Insurance is among the fastest growing insurance brokers in Canada. Its recent acquisitions include Ontario-based Vachon Insurance Group and Palmer Salmon Insurance in Alberta as well as Arrow Insurance Agency, Emsland & Associates Insurance, and IBMG Canada.
