First Assist on accident, sickness, and unemployment panel
FirstAssist Insurance Services has launched onto the accident, sickness and unemployment (ASU) panel with Personal Touch Financial Services (PTFS), one of the UK's largest intermediary networks with over 2,100 members.
FirstAssist will provide PTFS' members with a full suite of ASU cover, including cover for new, re-mortgage and existing mortgages and options for full ASU, AS or Involuntary Unemployment (IU) only.
The offering, which FirstAssist has tailored to meet PTFS' specific needs, is attractively priced to give clients valuable peace of mind, which is particularly important in these uncertain economic times.
The cover will be available through the PTFS on-line ASU quote engine which enables intermediaries to obtain a comparison quotation and complete the application in full, with all compliance documentation being automatically produced and saved against the client record.
This win further demonstrates FirstAssist Insurance Services ambitious growth plans and is a major step for the company as it aims to become a leading ASU provider for intermediaries in the new world, post Competition Commission.
Managing Director of Speciality Insurance at FirstAssist Insurance Services, Alistair Hardie believes that at a time when other providers are withdrawing from the market or restricting cover this partnership confirms FirstAssist's commitment to the ASU market.
This is an opportune time to be entering the IFA market as many intermediaries are looking to expand their general insurance business. We are seeing a high demand from clients for good quality ASU cover at a competitive price and more importantly from an established brand. We expect to quickly become a provider of choice in the IFA market.
