'Quality brands'
Pippa Keefe, NFS Partnerships and Strategy Director said: "Choozi is a key, strategic proposition for NFS and I'm delighted to be able to extend our range of insurers so early in its development. Welcoming quality brands like AIG and Beagle Street to Choozi increases the choice of products for consumers looking to purchase protection online, making it even easier for them to find the right cover at a competitive price."
Nicola Dryden, partnerships director at AIG Life, said: "It's vital that we do everything we can to help close the protection gap, so we can be there for families when they need help most. Choozi, with its simple tools, calculator and message about making sure life insurance is affordable, really opens the way to reaching more customers."

Working with Choozi will allow us to extend our reach and provide more customers with affordable life insurance through a simple application process."
