Mortgage Advice Bureau (MAB) has added Guardian onto its protection panel.
Guardian offers a range of individual protection insurance products including life insurance, critical illness, combined life and critical illness protection, children’s critical illness protection, and – as of April last year – income protection.
MAB added Guardian now becomes a core part of MAB’s protection proposition, aligning directly with their strategy of adding further value to advice, and providing customers with the most suitable contracts on the market from a claims perspective.
Andy Walton, proposition director – protection, MAB, (pictured) said: “We’re thrilled to be welcoming Guardian to our protection panel.
“Having introduced income protection last year to their protection menu, our partnership with Guardian aligns directly with MAB’s strategy of creating protection portfolios for our customers.
“As the UK’s number one distributor of income protection in the market, Guardian’s addition to our panel is an ideal opportunity for us to take our proposition even further.
“This partnership will add more value to the advice and products we offer, benefitting both brokers and customers alike.”
Vincent O’Connor, head of strategic partnerships at Guardian, added: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Mortgage Advice Bureau.
“Becoming part of their market-leading protection panel is an important strategic win for us.
“It not only grows our distribution reach, but also marks the moment that Guardian’s products became accessible to advisers within all the UK’s major advised service providers and networks.
“We’ve big ambitions and have been growing rapidly, with this partnership marking another important milestone in our journey.
“We look forward to working closely together with the team at MAB to help their mortgage clients put in place the protection they need.”
