PRIMIS Mortgage Network has announced that Shepherds Friendly is joining its full panel, increasing the range of income protection and over-50s life insurance solutions available to the network’s advisers.
As part of the protection specialist’s income protection plan, PRIMIS indicated its advisers and their clients will benefit from reviewable medical exclusions, day one protection, rehabilitation services and interactive underwriting.
Shepherds Friendly’s guaranteed acceptance over-50s life insurance offers client’s flexible payment options and an added £300 funeral benefit option – while the client’s family will gain free access to the National Bereavement Service.
“Income protection and over-50s life insurance are becoming increasingly important parts of consumers’ financial planning and advisers play a key role in this,” PRIMIS proposition director, Vikki Jefferies, commented.
“However, we understand that protection can be a tricky field to navigate for brokers. By extending our partnership with Shepherds Friendly, all of our advisers will now be able to benefit from a more varied protection offering and choice of support services, in order to secure the necessary cover for more of their clients.”
Shepherds Friendly head of sales, Alex Fallowes, added: “We’ve worked closely with intermediaries for many years and believe we have developed a clear understanding of how we can best assist advisers with tailored services, designed to support and protect their customers.
“As such, we are thrilled to be joining the PRIMIS panel so that more of the network’s advisers can access Shepherds Friendly’s support services and product offering for their customers. We always put our members at the heart of everything that we do – something which aligns perfectly with PRIMIS – making the decision to extend our partnership even more fitting.”
