Sainsbury's Bank review

The insurance types listed are auto, home, pet, travel, life and critical illness, so most personal lines sit with one broker. For context, a median entry price across the site is €8.37. The legal entity behind the arrangement is Sainsbury's Bank plc.

It is a broker, not an insurer, which means cover is arranged on behalf of insurers rather than written by the bank. The provider type is broker. Being authorised in GB by the Financial Conduct Authority is recorded under its licence.

Monthly payments are available, so the premium can be spread a month at a time. Vet fees are covered up to Pet insurance vet fees up to GBP 10,000 annual limit. Pet insurance is one of the lines listed under auto, home and pet.

Pets can be covered from a young age with no upper age limit, so older animals are not turned away on age alone. The entry age rule is set out in Pets from 8 weeks old, no upper age limit. Claims can be started online or by phone under online and phone.

The listed audience is seniors, so older applicants are a natural fit. It is also a reasonable option for anyone holding a current account with the same group and wanting personal lines in the same place.

Support runs on phone and help centre, meaning phone and a help centre. Claims can be raised online or by phone under online and phone. There is no listed chat or email route, so keep the policy details handy before you call.

Yes, life and critical illness both appear in auto, home and pet alongside auto, home, pet and travel. The bank was founded in 1996 and is based in the United Kingdom, so the whole range sits with one long standing group.
