Valon homeowners can access VIU’s insurance offerings, which feature “instant quotes” from a variety of carriers and guidance from licensed insurance agents.
The partnership is designed to assist homeowners in finding insurance plans that are customised to their individual requirements and risk profiles.
Valon customers will be issued with renewal alerts and given options to compare costs.
They will also receive expert reviews of existing policies, helping them spot coverage lapses and overlaps.
The partnership also offers access to a range of carrier options nationwide, including areas where coverage from key carriers may be limited, the release stated.
VIU by HUB president Bryan Davis said: “This partnership represents our commitment to removing barriers from the insurance process and minimising consumer risk.
“By integrating our comprehensive insurance solution directly into Valon’s platform, we are empowering homeowners with transparency, choice and confidence at a critical decision point, whether that is during the initial home purchase or at policy renewal time.”
Valon CEO Andrew Wang added: “At Valon, we have always focused on making homeownership simpler and more transparent. Insurance has historically been a friction point for homeowners, with limited visibility and complex choices.
“Partnering with VIU allows us to solve this challenge with technology while maintaining the human expertise our clients value. Together, we are creating a better experience at every stage of the homeownership journey.”
VIU is backed by HUB International, an insurance intermediary and financial services provider.
In December 2024, VIU acquired Insuritas, a provider of embedded insurance for financial institutions.
