NatWest has launched a new range of protection insurance for retail and mortgage customers.
The offer includes life insurance, expanded critical illness cover and over 50s life insurance.
The digital process allows homebuyers to get quotes and apply for cover in one online journey.
Critical illness cover now protects against 52 conditions.
Life insurance is now shown earlier in NatWest’s digital mortgage channels, such as Mortgage Self Service, Digital Mortgages and the mobile app.
Customers get pricing earlier, with pre-populated quotes and a smoother application.
Research from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) found 58% of UK adults did not have life cover.
NatWest said the new products aim to close the protection gap by making cover more visible and accessible for customers.
Toni Powling, protection lead at NatWest, said: “We can now bring customers clearer, more comprehensive protection at a time when financial security matters more than ever.
“We’re making it simpler for people to understand their options and take steps to protect what’s most important to them.”
