CIExpert has added Royal London to its Income Protection (IP) Insight Zone.
The mutual is the eighth insurer to join the platform, and sees it extend its support beyond life and critical illness cover (CIC). All Royal London’s personal and business protection IP plans, plus its personal and business life cover and CI plans, are now available to all CIExpert subscribers at no additional cost.
Paul Roberts, proposition and distribution director at CIExpert, said: “Royal London’s decision to join our Income Protection Insight Zone is further endorsement of the value they deliver to insurers, advisers and consumers.
“With every Insight Zone signed-off by each insurer to confirm accuracy, the important role they play in advice, compliance and consumer duty requirements cannot be understated.
“At CIExpert, we’re deeply committed to protecting the income of individuals and their families to deliver the financial resilience that they need.
“With our upcoming Critical Thinking 2026 report set to include insights into the income protection market, we’re excited to welcome Royal London into our Income Protection Insight Zone as we continue our plans to enhance our income protection support for advisers and their clients.”
Fi Wynn, head of protection propositions at Royal London (pictured), added: “Income protection plays a vital role in helping people stay financially resilient when they’re unable to work, so it’s essential advisers can clearly understand how different policies work in practice.
“By joining CIExpert’s Income Protection Insight Zone, we’re making it easier for advisers to access clear, detailed and trusted information across our income protection proposition, supporting high‑ quality advice and good consumer outcomes.”
