HUB24 adds Zurich offering
Publicly-listed specialist platform provider, HUB24, has added a third insurer to its IDPS platforms.
The company announced this week it had added Zurich’s Wealth Protection product to those already being provided by TAL and AIA.
Commenting on the move, HUB24 chief executive, Andrew Alcock said advisers had always had a choice of insurer for their clients outside of platforms and were now seeking the same choice for their clients within platforms to take advantage of an end-to-end solution.
He said the Zurich insurance offering had won major industry awards and HUB24 was pleased to add another quality risk provider for access through HUB24 inside or outside superannuation.”
