Arranging to Purchase an Insurance Product Online

You are welcome to use our website to conduct a needs analysis. We have a number of products you can compare from our participating insurers. If you elect to buy online then there are some important conditions that will apply.

You will answer a set of questions that will help to generate an online quote.

If you elect to purchase an insurance policy online, based on that quote, and the insurer who sells that product is prepared to offer you that option, then you will be transferred into the insurer’s online system that will allow you to purchase the product you have selected. You should note that the insurer may ask you additional questions at that stage. We will record within our database all of your relevant details and we will also record an identification number. Your dealings with us will cease once you have been transferred into the insurer’s computer systems. You should note however that the insurer will provide us with the policy number you are issued with, as part of our verification process for the commissions/fees we will be paid. If the insurer proceeds to make you an offer to purchase an insurance product, you will then be entering into a contract of insurance with the relevant insurer.
We do not have visibility of your purchase of an insurance policy or the means by which you will pay for that policy.
