General insurance solutions provider Paymentshield has added Ageas UK and Tradex to its home insurance panel. Tradex’s policies are underwritten through Markerstudy Insurance Services. The two new providers join existing panel members Axa, Allianz, and Integra.

Joe Bishop, head of insurer relations at Paymentshield, said: “We’ve been working hard to preserve the robustness of our home insurance panel during a time of market volatility that has seen several insurers withdraw from the personal lines market.

"The strength and depth of our panel makes it easier for advisers to offer a home insurance quote to every customer, supporting in our ultimate mission to ensure every home is properly protected.”
