Iress recently announced that Reassured, the UK’s “largest” life insurance broker, has selected The Exchange platform in order “to power both its advised and non-advised protection business.”
Iress was “chosen after a thorough selection process based on the potential for a long-term partnership and its desire to drive innovation and growth in Reassured’s business.”
The breadth and depth of Iress’s offering, and its cloud-based architecture, “means that it is in the ideal position to work with Reassured to support the wider business as it grows.”
Iress’s Executive General Manager, Sourcing, Dave Miller, said:
“Reassured are a fantastic business and we’re excited to be helping drive their next phase of growth. Iress’s The Exchange is a hugely powerful platform, recently strengthened by the addition of the Iress Features comparison tool, and we’re looking forward to working closely with Reassured to support them in getting the most value out of their partnership with us to scale their business over the coming years.”
Reassured’s Director of Corporate Strategy, Phil Jeynes said:
“Reassured is continuing to grow across a variety of areas and we were impressed by Iress’ commitment to supporting this ambition. They have a strong reputation for outstanding technology and first class service and we look forward to launching our partnership.”
