uSwitch: Lloyds move to implement GBP35 fee for credit card customers
Lloyds latest move to implement a GBP35 fee for credit card customers that 'display low usage' is set to generate a total income of GBP1.79 million1.
The channel will include cover from specialist insurers including thatched properties, listed buildings and homes in flood risk areas.
Consumers are also able to get real time accurate quotes on the spot and not estimates.
Ashton Berkhauer, Insurance Manager at uSwitch.com, the leading independent price comparison and switching service comments: "The insurance channel has been a huge success for uSwitch.com since it launched last year.
Home insurance, as the second largest general insurance product in the UK, was the natural next step for the progression of the service.
With last year's summer floods leading to more than 27,500[1] claims and estimated damage of more than £1 billion[1], having the right insurance product for your home has never been so important.
The uSwitch.com service will cover both those with a standard home to those with higher risk and specialist properties, such as those built in flood risk areas.
We believe that everyone deserves to get the best product available for their needs." Ashton Berkhauer concludes: "uSwitch.com remains the market leader in energy switching and a major player in the car insurance market - so home insurance is the logical next step.
This launch takes our comparison service another step closer to becoming a one stop shop for consumers." uSwitch.com also has a team of insurance specialists on hand to help with any queries or requirements that consumers using the channel may have, especially those with specialist cases.For more information visit www.uswitch.com or call 0800 093 06 07.
