The Right Mortgage Network is to include UnderwriteMe’s Protection Platform as part of their adviser protection offering.
The move enables advisers and their clients to quote, underwrite and apply online with ‘buy now’ prices from a range of UK insurers.
The partnership builds on a 2021 pilot which highlighted the advantages of the platform through a trial with a small number of advisers within the network.
The platform comprises of a single question set for multiple lives, products and insurers – eliminating the need to re-key data. It also includes a full integration with researchers Defaqto, allowing in-depth product comparisons.
Commenting on the development, Vincent O’Connor, director of products at The Right Mortgage, said: “We’re always looking for ways to add value for the firms we work with and make sure there’s access to the best tools in the market.
“As a network, we pride ourselves on offering a service that supports all advisers and firms which is why it was so important to hear the positive feedback from the advisers who took part in the pilot.
“It was evident from the detail how the Protection Platform complements the protection process by saving time, putting the adviser and clients completely in control of the application journey, and increasing the uptake of protection.”
Phil Nash, director of sales at UnderwriteMe, added: “The Protection Platform is growing rapidly, with many of the UK’s most prestigious life insurance specialists using our software.
“The uptake of the platform over the last few years has been great to see. What’s been evident especially throughout the difficult economic times of the last couple of years is that the platform’s always been on for advisers.
“We saw more than 260,000 applications submitted in 2021 and we’re proud to add The Right Mortgage to that list of advocates.
“We look forward to working with them in rolling out the Platform to all the firms they’re working with.”
