Connected motor insurer Ticker has agreed a new partnership with premium finance provider PremFina. The exclusive deal will cover all lines of business from July.
Ticker is bringing connected motor insurance to a wide audience, with a range of tailored propositions, including products for van drivers, novice drivers, low-mileage drivers, drivers with past convictions, drivers over 70 and drivers new to the UK.
Richard King, Ticker’s founder and CEO said: “There are three things we need our premium finance provider to understand: we’re a digital insurer, data science plays a critical role in our propositions and a large percentage of our customers choose to pay monthly. PremFina stood out as the ideal partner to support these foundations and the next chapter of our significant growth.”
Ticker customers manage their policies in the Ticker app, so it’s key that PremFina can seamlessly integrate into the customer journey, allowing them to make changes to the policy themselves.
PremFina UK & ROI CEO, Sharon Bishop said: “Our approach to technology and serving our customers is a great fit for Ticker and the more we found out about them, the more it seemed like a perfect partnership. Ticker customers prefer to use digital channels rather than pick up the phone – which is where our live web chat functionality, 24/7 support bot and self-service platform come into their own.
“It’s great to be working with another digital insurer that shares our passion for widening the market, expanding customer choice – and making insurance easier and fairer for consumers.”
