Sesame launches GI portal

The portal, intended to make writing business quicker and simpler, will be rolled out to Sesame, PMS and Bankhall members over the coming weeks.

George Higginson, chief executive of Sesame Bankhall Group, said: “We want to help adviser firms build value in their businesses by broadening their overall offering demonstrating their value to clients through increased contact whilst providing a wide choice of quality products and providers at highly competitive rates.”

Advisers will be able to access products such as building and contents, landlords insurance and mortgage payment protection insurance from a range of leading insurers such as RSA, Aviva, Ageas and Allianz.

The portal is powered by Paymentshield’s technology and incorporates a client-friendly quote and application system to meet each client’s requirements.

Clients will also benefit from competitive pricing via the panels as insurers compete to win the client’s business.

The Sesame proposition will automatically compare the renewal premium being offered by each of the panel insurers at the client’s annual review to ensure their premiums remain competitive.

And Higginson added: “By integrating the GI portal with our practice management system from IRESS and The Key, Mortgage Brain’s point of sale system, advisers will benefit from an intuitive, user friendly process that is integrated with our wider technology strategy.”
