(14/11/05) AXA announces new distribution partners for its Protection Account
AXA has announced that its Protection Account is now available through new distribution partner Thinc Destini, one of the UK's leading financial services organisations, as part of a multi-tie deal.
The multi-tie between AXA and Thinc Destini was launched in March 2005, but the launch of the AXA Protection Account will be an addition to the panel as of the 3rd of October.
This new agreement forms the next stage of the roll-out of the AXA Protection Account. It is already available from leading distributors including Bankhall, Britannia Building Society, LifeSearch, Millfield, Sesame and Tenet, as well as AXA's own tied network.
"Following this latest addition, the AXA Protection Account is now available to around 20,000 registered individuals. We are delighted to announce the addition of Thinc Destini as a partner to the roll-out of our AXA Protection Account," said Barbara Reilly, Head of Protection at AXA.
Nick Boyle, Group Sales Director of Thinc Destini, said, "AXA has one of the most innovative protection propositions on the market, and we are delighted to be working with them alongside our other Multi Tie Partners. We believe our clients will benefit from having access to a package which answers their protection needs through one simple and efficient service and have no doubt the AXA Protection Account will add even more breadth to our already extensive client proposition"
