Paymentshield has announced the addition of Zurich to its home insurance panel.

Zurich joins Ageas, Aviva, RSA and Legal & General on the panel.

Amanda Fox, Paymentshield’s insurer relations director, said: “Having such a strong household brand on board such as Zurich is a great result for Paymentshield.

“A lot of work goes on behind the scenes to ensure our proposal is just right before we approach new insurers and I’m confident that our strong Panel will also start attracting new insurers soon.

“Adding Zurich onto our Panel supports our activity of tailoring our product offering to meet the needs of our customers, whilst providing exceptional levels of service and support.”

Ian McManus, head of personal lines at Zurich, said: “We are delighted to have joined the Paymentshield insurance panel enabling us to reach many more customers. We hope this will be the start of a long and successful relationship between our two organisations.”
