The Cumberland has launched a new partnership with tech firm, Uinsure, to provide home insurance to its members.

The collaboration means that customers at the building society will be able to access the home insurance service in its branches, through its mortgage team or online.

Uinsure will provide The Cumberland’s customers with the best available quote from its lending panel of insurers.

The partnership marks another collaboration with a UK building society, as the firm looks to expand its footprint with banks, societies and financial intermediaries.

Product and governance manager at The Cumberland, John Linton, said: "By partnering with Uinsure, we can ensure our members can access quality home insurance cover that could meet their needs without unnecessary complexity. They will have the choice of using Uinsure’s platform via The Cumberland website or speaking to us in person."

Chief new business officer at Uinsure, Amy Evans, added: "The Cumberland has always prioritised providing top-level support to the communities it serves, and we’re both humbled and grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with their team.

"Our continued expansion is a direct response to the growing demand from firms eager to offer insurance directly to their customers, aligning with our shared ambition of making insurance simple, fair, and accessible."
