Who is initio?

Initio was the pioneer in New Zealand, introducing the concept of quoting and binding insurance policies entirely online. While our primary focus has been on innovation in the “direct to consumer” channel, we have now developed a fresh approach tailored to the intermediated domestic insurance market for serving your clients.

Insurance brokers now have the opportunity to offer their customers a cutting-edge digital solution for domestic insurance.

Our platform simplifies the process. With just one click, you can generate quotes for your customers’ house and contents, rental properties, or holiday homes. By entering a property address and selecting the property type, we provide an instant quote. You can then email this quote to the customer, allowing them to complete the insurance questionnaire and check-out process at their convenience. We maintain transparency in all customer communications and provide monthly reports on customer activity.

We empower your customers to secure coverage within minutes, make real-time adjustments to their policies, and easily initiate claims when needed.

What insurance options does initio offer?

We have a large suite of products for your customers to choose from including:

House & Contents

Landlord

Holiday Home

Vehicle

Initio is underwritten by IAG, New Zealand’s largest general insurer
