Specialist armed forces intermediary, Insignia Underwriting, has launched a bespoke online protection portal for military personnel and their families.

This is the second specialist military intermediary to launch with LifeQuote this year.

The portal provides a panelled direct to consumer service coupled with specialist support from Insignia’s protection team. It helps military personnel and their families to purchase a range of life and protection policies given their current military status.

Insignia was founded in 2013 by a team with more than 40 years’ combined experience in the military insurance market. They offer a range of policies that are flexible to meet the changing needs of military personnel.

Rod Breeze, managing director of Insignia Underwriting, said: “We are pleased to be teaming up with LifeQuote to help streamline the process for all military personnel seeking insurance cover.”

Neil McCarthy, LifeQuote sales and marketing director, added: “Historically, supporting the armed forces and their families with protection policies was challenging, plainly this was due in part to the nature of their work, but additionally it was often due to the fact that many personnel move quite frequently.

“By offering a combination of an online portal, supported by protection intermediaries and a dedicated case management team, Insignia can support all armed forces personnel and their families.”
