“We have taken the decision to offer an instant buy online facility because of the nature of our business and our international clientele. Customers from around the world, including corporate customers, from within any time zone, can now go online to buy their medical insurance and get instant cover. This avoids waiting for a call back, sometimes not until the next day because of time differences, as well as cutting out the need to fax agreements back to us.
“We do of course, appreciate that there are people who prefer to speak directly to one of our customer service representatives and that service is still available. However, some people prefer to arrange their own cover quickly and easily without the need for human intervention. Nowadays, consumers are familiar with buying motor or home insurance online and getting instant cover and so have no qualms about arranging all of their insurance needs in this way.”
