In a repeat of last year’s results, Zurich Financial Services Australia Limited (Zurich) has been honoured by Canstar for providing outstanding value in life insurance.

In its annual review of the retail life insurance market, Canstar once again declared Zurich the joint winner of its ultimate accolade – the five star award for outstanding value life insurance. Zurich was also recognised with awards for its TPD and packaged covers. Zurich was named the best value insurer based on Canstar’s thorough examination of 635,240 quotes from 13 major Australian life insurers, based on 64 profiles of differing gender, age, occupation, premium and features.

Zurich also won 5 stars for 59 of the 64 profiles researched in the TPD category, charging the lowest premiums for 35 out of those 64 profiles, as well as demonstrating a balance of pricing and features across all four products – term life, trauma, TPD and income protection – to secure a win in the packaged life category.

Head of Sales Strategies and Research for Zurich’s Life & Investments business, Mr Andy Marshall said the awards are further evidence of Zurich’s ability to offer superior quality and innovative features without compromising on affordability.
“It’s fantastic to have Zurich once again awarded the ‘Outstanding Value Life Insurance Australia’ award, which is Canstar’s highest honour,” said Mr. Marshall.

“In addition to myriad of ways we are helping advisers become more efficient and more engaged with their customers, delivering outstanding value protection remains the central way we can support advisers in bringing quality advice and protection to more Australians.”
