Enhanced protections to give customers peace
of mind during uncertain times
TORONTO, Dec. 3, 2020 /CNW/ - Many trends have
emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic; people are travelling less,
working from home and spending more time online. Intact Financial
Corporation (TSX: IFC) is offering enhanced protection to give
customers working from home increased liability and home coverage,
the option to add identity theft coverage and cyber protection, at
a discount, as well as free access to mental health and well-being
programs for a limited time.
"During a time where so many are working from home, customers
are searching for added value and thinking about their well-being,"
said Louis Gagnon, President,
Canadian Operations, Intact Financial Corporation. "We want
customers to have peace of mind and we are focused on supporting
their changing needs".
Intact Insurance's enhanced protection provides customers with
increased liability and home coverage for people working from home.
Existing and new customers can also add identity theft coverage and
cyber protection to their home policy with my
Identity at a discount, and for a limited time, enjoy
free access to online mental health and well-being programs through
LifeSpeak.
Intact also understands that with more people working from home,
driving habits and patterns are changing. Usage-based insurance
programs give customers more control over their auto insurance
premium. Intact Insurance's my Drive™
offers customers personalized feedback and tips to help improve
their safe driving and the opportunity to earn up to 25% off their
auto insurance premium. Customers receive a 10% discount just for
