Dublin, Ireland (2nd August 2016) – Hiscox has launched Hiscox Trader in Ireland, following its successful launch in the UK earlier this year.
Hiscox Trader is the quickest and easiest online quote and placement tool in the market and has transformed our broker experience in the UK. It offers multiple indicative premiums within 10 seconds, a full quote within a couple of minutes and a wide range of products from professional indemnity and public liability to cyber and data. Brokers now benefit from instant quotes as well as the ability to quickly bind cover and receive policy documentation immediately. It also shows brokers quickly where a policy would not be within our appetite, saving time and effort for both brokers and customers.
Commenting on the launch of Hiscox Trader for Ireland, Peter Chapman, eTrade Manager, said: “Our brokers told us they wanted us to make it easier for them to quote and sell Hiscox products to their clients. So we worked closely with a number of them to understand how we could develop an online trading system that would meet their needs and deal with their frustrations when it comes to e-trading.
“The result was Hiscox Trader, a major step forward in our e-trading capabilities and a platform that offers real benefits to brokers in terms of time and ease of use for both quoting and binding risks. Its flexibility also means new products and underwriting changes can be quickly incorporated, further enhancing the service we can offer our brokers and helping them to cement their client relationships. Following its success in the UK since its launch, we are proud to now be launching it for use in Ireland.”
