Protection

Friends Provident has launched a web-based tool designed to help advisers writing more protection business online.

Archie Kane is to remain as the Association of British Insurers (ABI) chairman until spring 2010.

Back by popular demand, IFAonline is again offering a limited number of readers the chance to get their hands on a set of Top Trumps-style cards designed to help demystify critical illness (CI).

Scottish Widows pays out more than £500,000 a week on critical illness (CI) claims, figures show.

IFAonline is offering readers discounted places for The Protection Review Conference 2009.

Insurers erroneously declined protection claims in only a tiny number of cases in the last two years, despite the public's negative perception of the industry, a study suggests.

Scottish Widows is being accused of threatening to shut down IFA agencies as the insurance giant seeks to address falling business levels.
