Paymentshield has expanded its home insurance panel with the addition of Modus.

Modus was launched at the beginning of 2015 and specialises in underwriting and distributing auto-rating household, landlords’ and commercial products.

The firm joins Allianz, AXA, Legal & General, Towergate, UKG, RSA Insurance Group and Zurich, taking the total number of panel members to eight.

Scott Banks, managing director at Modus, said: “We are delighted to join the Paymentshield home insurance panel, building on an already positive relationship we have in place through our presence on their landlord panel. The new agreement will allow us to provide more customers with access to comprehensive policies tailored to their needs.”

Amanda Fox (pictured), proposition, digital and marketing director at Paymentshield, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Modus onto the home insurance panel. Having worked together on our landlord product, we’re now excited to be further extending that relationship while boosting our network of reputable insurers – something that will help advisers get general insurance quotes over the line, while their clients benefit from a wider range of protection options.”
