ClickCover, a Waikato-based financial services company, has launched its online service.
The company said the launch was a move to challenge and shake up the standard quote-and-compare model market.
The new service offers online interviews with advisers, which help determine which insurance options best suit clients’ needs.
“This is not just another quote-and-compare website.” ClickCover Managing Director and Co-Founder Jamie Toon said. “We are offering a unique experience for everyday Kiwis to receive quality advice from a registered financial advisor, in the comfort of home and away from the pressure of a broker.”
Since New Zealand is one of the lowest-insured for personal insurance of all OECD countries, Toon said, ClickCover creates a new platform that makes insurance more accessible and easy for everyday Kiwis to use in getting cover.
“Often for people it’s a guessing game as to how much insurance they need, and with over 25,000 different variations within personal risk insurance alone, it’s no wonder it can be hard to choose the right cover for you and your family,” Toon said.
Current insurance advice offered by ClickCover includes income protection, mortgage protection, travel insurance and professional indemnity and liability insurance among others.
