AIA teams up with online platform

AIA chief executive Nick Stanhope says the Starter plans offer basic, affordable insurance and the new digital deal includes AIA’s flagship Vitality Starter programs. 

“We partnered with Quashed as we believe we have a shared commitment to making insurance more accessible for all New Zealanders.”

Quashed, a one-stop-shop insurance platform, was founded by entrepreneur Justin Lim. It enables consumers to upload and store all their insurance policies in one place, access information on different types of insurance, find an adviser, share policy details with loved ones and compare and contrast different insurance products and prices.

And it’s free to consumers. Quashed makes its money by taking a commission from insurers who sell products through the platform and says it “may” charge for financial advice.
