The Right Mortgage & Protection Network is to provide its members with discounted access to the CI Expert critical illness comparison service.

The service lets advisers compare critical illness policies.

Ben Allen, compliance director at The Right Mortgage, said: “Critical illness cover is a product that all of our members should be discussing with their clients. With one in two of us expected to get cancer at some stage and heart disease becoming more prevalent, having financial protection in place becomes vitally important.

“Offering CI Expert to our advisers allows them to quickly and easily compare critical illness options and to better understand the definitions, thus ensuring that their clients are covered for the conditions that they are most concerned about.”

Clive Mayne, director at CI Expert, added: “We’re delighted to have been able to reach a deal with The Right Mortgage and Protection Network. As Ben said, critical illness is a vital cover in this day and age, as not only can it keep a roof over somebody’s head should they be unable to work due to a critical illness, but it can also save people’s lives, enabling them to get the best treatment available.

“CI Expert allows advisers to compare the multitude of options available and easily meet compliance standards.”
