Legal & General and Skipton Building Society have agreed a five-year general insurance distribution deal.
Skipton Building Society customers will be able to purchase Legal & General buildings and contents insurance online, on the phone, or through a branch. The general insurance distribution agreement was signed in September 2016, with new business and renewals to begin shortly.
Mark Holweger, managing director of Legal & General Insurance Partnerships said: “It’s great news Skipton Building Society has chosen us as their general insurance partner, and I look forward to providing their customers with great value general insurance products and excellent customer service.”
Legal & General and Skipton Building Society plan to grow and expand the distribution partnership, by offering the general insurance product on aggregator sites under the Skipton brand, and by providing customers with the same pricing deal, whether they purchase their general insurance online, on the phone, or in a branch.
Kris Brewster, Skipton’s head of products, added: “A property is more than bricks and mortar, it’s a home. And we’re always working to make sure our members can protect the things they love most. So after a thorough review of our home insurance offering, we’re delighted to be partnering with Legal & General.
“They’ve been insuring homes for over 90 years; and together with our 163 years of helping people save up for their dream home, we believe we’ve entered a great partnership.”
