United Kingdom : AVIVA inks three year deal with TESCO BANK

The UK’s largest insurer, Aviva, has signed a three-year deal with the insurance distribution division of the global supermarket chain, Tesco, Tesco Bank, to offer private motor insurance to Tesco customers.

Through this deal, Aviva will join a small panel of existing insurers for offering motor insurance through Tesco Bank, which presently offers car insurance to over one million customers.

Offering of the policies will be done through Tesco Car Insurance call centres and online. Claims service would be offered through Aviva’s personal motor Centre of Excellence in Stretford.

Intermediary and partnerships director at Aviva, Janice Deakin, said, “We are delighted to be extending our relationship with Tesco Bank to offer motor insurance. This deal further strengthens our relationship with Tesco Bank, following the announcement last year that Aviva would also be providing life protection products, including life insurance and critical illness cover.”

“Tesco shares our customer-centric values and carries clear brand strength that together will deliver real value to our partnership and to Tesco customers.”

Director of insurance at Tesco Bank, Gary Davess, said, “Partnering with Aviva will help us offer competitive prices to more Tesco customers and at the same time provide access to quality motor insurance from one of the UK’s largest providers.”
