Flex & Let now available on SSP!
Plum launches exciting new eTrade products on SSP
PRESS RELEASE
London, 6 May 2016: In a move to increase brokers' access to established non-standard property capacity on software house platforms, Plum Underwriting - the specialist and nonstandard household insurance MGA which is part of Global Risk Partners Limited (GRP) – has added its eLet and eFlex full cycle EDI products to SSP.
Plum’s eTrade operation – formed late last year - means brokers now have real choice and wider access to market-leading products. Plum is able to fill the gaps in established capacity for non-standard home insurance that brokers need on software houses.
Simon Lewer, eTrade Director at Plum, said: “With the small number of established providers in this space, and the lead in times to deliver specialist products to market, brokers are faced with few options when it comes to placing non-standard risks.
“We will continue to roll-out our e-enabled products to other leading software houses during
2016, making it easier for brokers to access quality products and established underwriting.”
Ron Atkinson, Head of Insurer Relationships, SSP, said, “I am delighted to welcome Plum Underwriting to the SSP insurer panel. The eLet and eFlex schemes are the type of competitive products we are focused on providing our customers with and we will continue to work with the industry to deliver the best products to help support our brokers”.
Plum’s eTrade products offer brokers competitively priced cover, guaranteed 'quotability' and low operational costs, together with the extended underwriting footprint common across all its products.
Brokers using SSP with Plum agencies have access to eFlex and eLet with immediate effect. eFlex provides specialist and non-standard household buildings, contents and valuables cover, and eLet is for UK residential landlords who own either individual properties or large portfolios and covers buildings and contents for a wide range of tenancy types.
