Gryphon Group Holdings' protection products will only be sold by advisers, who can combine them within a single journey

Swiss Re is to offer a direct to consumer (D2C) digital platform to insurers to sell protection products online, in partnership with Backbase.

Aviva has launched Aviva Life Protection Solutions (ALPS) a new end to end platform for advisers offering a faster ‘quote and apply' system than before.

True Potential has said it is planning to offer protection products, including an investment-linked proposition, via its platform.

Adviser opportunities in the development of flex benefits systems for smaller employees are set to further encourage growing group critical illness (group CI) sales, Aviva has said.
