Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/23/2016 -- An affinity scheme is a partnership in which an insurer underwrites insurance to be distributed via another company whose primary product or service is not insurance. This includes banks and retailers which together account for just under a fifth of GWP from the personal lines market, with banks generating two thirds of this. Banks and building societies are strong within the home insurance market due to close links with mortgage arrangements, and also travel insurance where cover is often provided as a benefit of added-value current accounts. Retailers are particularly strong within the pet insurance market.

Affinities rely on their strong brand identities in order to cross-sell insurance to existing customers, and use incentives such as discounts and loyalty scheme rewards to do so. Insurers play to their strengths within the affinity channel. They tend to underwrite lines in which they are already strong compared to their other products and other insurers; however, it must also be acknowledged that brokers, which provide affinities with access to multiple insurers, are still important within the affinity channel, especially within motor insurance.
