    Store my policy documents. err WHY?

    Upload them, Why not just stick a copy on your phone or any of the free hosting services out there?

    What if you cannot remember your password?

    Whats in it for them?

    Your data including all renewal dates, a fairly valuable asset.

    Not sure what the "quote manager" is.

    Looking at the directors, one is an approved person for a brokerage, the other a former a Capital Life & Pensions person. Neither are on LinkedIn, surprisingly, so cant do that much more snooping :)
  • To have them all in one place I guess.... im sure they'll have password reminder...but I guess this is part of what they're doing...at the moment I have 5 different insurance policies, each insurer gives me access online to my policies but I struggle to remember one let alone 5!!! I do just keep copies on emails and my phone but its messy and my phone does seem to lose itself quite regular! Infact I can see what they're doing...all these insurance companies are cottoning on to the fact that people just like simplicity...A few big names are offering multi policies and having everything under one roof...good idea but then you lose the competitiveness of different insurers right...not sure how they're making money though...probably advertising....i'll give them a go....cheers

    this is the same site you have already been commentating about on their facebook site ??

    so from your comments on there you are already using them "as you locked yourself out" as opposed to the "I'll give them a go" on here

    sounds like self promotion

    I love the quotes from 'Georgina Jones' on their FB too, and the lame way the same person has 'liked' everything they post.

    No contact address or business address on the website, naughty and not a company I would do business with.
