Why choose British Insurance?

British Insurance are widely considered to be both consumer champions and pre-eminent in the field of payment protection insurance, employing the highest ethical standards.

Furthermore, in addition to our products topping Which? Best buy surveys; we are the exclusively appointed provider of payment protection insurance to the British Insurance Brokers' Association. This in part is why we have been allowed to use the word "British" as part of our company name.

We are authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority and members of the Finance Industry Standards Association.

Why are British Insurance premiums cheaper?

The reason that we charge less than virtually all of our competitors is because we are both highly efficient and simply take less commission. Instead of relying upon fat profit margins, we prefer to offer good quality insurance products at low prices, passing on all of the savings to our customers.
