Leeds Building Society is stepping up its investment in fin tech via a partnership with leading insurance technology firm, Uinsure.

Working with Uinsure, Leeds Building Society members can get a quote online in as little as 20 seconds, and in branches in a matter of minutes – by answering three simple questions; their name, date of birth and postcode.

The partnership will offer Leeds customers access to seven underwriters who each compete to offer the lowest price on Uinsure’s policy, with the cheapest being presented to members.

Leeds Building Society  head of commercial development John Scally says: “Our purpose is to put homeownership in reach of people, and this partnership with Uinsure means we can offer our members peace of mind that their property is protected should they suffer any unexpected loss or damage.

He adds: “We have made use of new technology to simplify the application process in order to encourage people to protect their homes, which is usually the most expensive asset people own”.
