Independent Insurance Services are independent insurance brokerage specialising in advising new immigrants to New Zealand on Life Insurance, Disability Insurance, Medical, Fire & General and Superannuation.
With access to 18 different insurers we can offer you the most cost-effective, quality solutions to your insurance needs.
We have been helping newly arrived immigrants since 1990 and pride ourselves on providing trustworthy, correct solutions when people first arrive here and then going on to develop valuable insurance programmes for people as they become more settled and established.
The emphasis is to discover your needs first and then to recommend products & services, always remembering that new immigrants are going to face considerable financial (and other) changes in the first period of their new life here. For that reason our initial recommendations are usually made on the basis of getting you safely insured for the best possible price.
The early months or even years of settling here are not generally the best times for making long-range financial commitments to long-term insurance needs. Through a regular process of reviews we meet with you and "fine tune" your programme until it exactly meets your needs.
We are proud of the fact that the great majority of our clients still refer to us first for their insurance needs, and are confident that the advice given and insurance recommended has been correct, cost-effective and reliable.
Independent Insurance Services is unique in New Zealand in offering "Forward Underwriting". This allows you to purchase life insurance and disability cover while still in your country of origin with minimal paperwork, giving you the flexibility and comfort of knowing you are insured.
If you would like an independent, no-obligation assessment of your needs, we would be delighted to hear from you.
Wishing you all the best for your new life in New Zealand.
