    Axa are a French predominantly Insurer, Halifax are UK Government owned and predominantly a Bank with Insurance as a sideline.

    Axa may have provided the Insurance for a product that Halifax labelled as their own.

    If you're going to Axa direct, are you aware that you may be able to get cashback?

    There is not a guarantee you'll get the cash back and sometimes products are more expensive through cashback sites but it's worth thinking about. If you've already got a quote you will need to clear the cookies on your computer.

    I've used topcashback before and they did what they said on the tin.

    It takes months to get the cashback and if you've already arranged a quote with Axa the website you went through may claim the introcduction over the cashback

    AXA and Halifax have no direct link at all.

    Quite a lot of providers will white label a policy making it available for different distributors. The name comes about from the fact that the literature is virtually the same but the area where the brand appears is left blank, like a white label, to allow the firm to add it's own brand. So, you could have a quote on a white label product.
