NIG claims it is the very first insurer to offer a Motor Trade product on imarket. Brokers registered on imarket will have access to a whole range of functions and a simple route to obtaining motor trade quotes.

A main broker benefit is that cover is provided on the basis of a Statement of Fact. This eliminates the need for proposal forms, making the process simpler. Brokers also have access to local underwriters within NIG branches and can utilise NIG’s extranet NIG Network by using their existing imarket user id and password.

NIG’s head of ecommerce and emerging channels, Vivek Banga, said: “NIG is well known for its strengths in underwriting motor trade risks and we have decided to make this product available to all our brokers via imarket. Over the coming months, we will add our SME package products to imarket, and we continue to invest in the right technology and infrastructure to make this happen.”
