HSBC gets into Insurance Affiliate marketing
We have personal and company bank accounts with HSBC for many years, and have been subject on the personal side to decreasing customer service the further it gets away from Midland in time.
We choose to stay with them purely out of apathy and dread of the bureaucracy that changing company stuff entails.
The fact that we were aware that the banks position wasn't threatened by the the collapse of the British Financial casualties in hindsight seems irrelevent.
Anyway HSBC are won of the only new entrants into the Insurance affiliate marketing circle during these times when some very big players are withdrawing from the scene.
My company these days is in a fortunate position to pick and choose who we wish to promote and , for all those evening calls from far away call centres moaning when I've gone a few quid over my overdraft limit, aside from the fact that my companies put millions of pounds through their system over the last 15 years - it gives me great pleasure to announe that I will not be promoting their insurance products!

Dangerous sports travel insurance
Those of you who are working in Insurance in the UK might remember those 'crazy claims' stories and cartoons in the
Insurance Press.
You know the sort " I was proceeding down meadow lane at 25mph when an elephant jumped over a bush.........."
Well, here at Insurance Blogger part of our network has been collecting Internet leads for
specialist insurance schemes for over ten years now.
During that time we have been asked to find insurance for some incredible artifacts, property and business employers liability insurance for some incredible professions.
We've usually managed to help.
In fact I'm going to publish some of them on this blog every now and then.
However there have always been certain things that you couldn't find cover for.
One in particular that springs to mind was this crazy amazing base jumper (he'd done loads of buildings) who wanted travel insurance for base jumping in New Zealand.
We tried really hard to find him cover but in those days no one was offering
dangerous sports travel insurance.
So it was refreshing to see that Sportscover direct are offering
travel insurance and other cover for nearly all sorts of dangerous sports and holidays including snowboarding travel insurance and skiing and abseiling cover.
They cover virtually every type of sport within which clubs, players, teams, coaches and managers can all be individually insured for accident, liability and personal and commercial insurance. Whats more you can insure kids as well!
