Swiftcover has launched a new quotation service for mobile phones. The online insurance provider's new Swift Text service will enable customers to obtain a motor quote delivered direct to their mobile phones within five minutes.

Swift Text was developed by Text2Insure and represents a new development for motor insurance.

Andrew Blowers, chief executive of swiftcover.com comments: “Swift Text is a clear example of our commitment to innovation. In an era when many consider their lives to be negatively affected by time pressures, our aim is to enable consumers to purchase insurance quickly and at their convenience. A text system for quotes is a natural addition to our online service, where consumers can get quotes, buy and manage policies and make claims entirely online. Most importantly, we are providing digital solutions in an increasingly digitalised market, and cutting out the call centre which not only minimises frustration for the consumer, but allows us to deliver some of the cheapest premiums on the market.”
