MGA adds landlords product to Acturis after Applied withdraws Epic from UK

MGA Arkel has added its landlords let property insurance product to software house Acturis.

Called Premier Let, the product is tailored to the specific needs of landlords, helping them protect their assets and income with landlord-specific product features and cover limits.

Acturis said the move widens Arkel’s distribution channels, “allowing Acturis brokers to access its landlords let property product”.

Edward Wilding, commercial lines product manager at Acturis, added: “We’re excited to add Arkel’s landlords let property product on our platform, making it easier for brokers to access specialist cover through the Acturis.

“Collaborations like this reinforce our commitment to delivering seamless, efficient trading experiences.”

Epic withdrawal

This comes after Applied Systems announced that it would be withdrawing its Epic proposition from the UK, with the firm feeling that there are a series of difficult challenges to navigate in the UK broker management system (BMS) market.

Arkel has worked with Applied Systems for a number of years, with the MGA rolling out Premier Let with the software house in September 2023.

Speaking about launching with Acturis, Ant Sherlock, head of distribution at Arkel, said: “We’re excited to add our let property product to the Acturis platform, as we continue to expand product offering and increase our broker distribution.

“This is the final piece of the jigsaw, with Premier Let now available across all leading SWH trading platforms, making it as easy as possible for brokers to quote and bind our market leading let property product and therefore retain our first-choice reputation in the market.”
