Aviva

Almost three quarters of people aged over 55 believe paying for long-term care (LTC) should not be an individual's responsibility, Aviva research suggests.

Aviva suffered a massive backlash on social media site Twitter last night against its placement of an advert for income protection (IP) showing a motorbike accident during ITV's popular period drama Downton Abbey.

Aviva has unveiled the second in its series of consumer focused protection adverts - this time promoting the importance of income protection (IP), with critical illness (CI) to follow.

Following a dive in its share value, Aviva could be exposed to a takeover bid from rival insurer Zurich, reports suggest.

Aviva paid 92.5% of critical illness (CI) claims during the first six months of the year.

Health insurers and brokers have broadly supported the Office of Fair Trading's (OFT) view that the private healthcare market is ‘not working well for customers'.

Aviva is aiming to settle death claims from group risk customers within three days.

Avelo has added Aviva's fixed term annuity to its product portal Exchange.
