The Cardif loan insurance simulator is now available at SeLoger.com.
Nearly 70 percent of consumers surf nowadays the Web to find information before they purchase an insurance product¹. More, ever since the Lagarde reforms became effective in September last year, homebuyers have been able to choose a different insurance policy than that proposed by the lending establishment. So clearly, once homebuyers' plans become crystallized, they too resort to estimate the cost of their future creditor insurance in order to compare insurance costs.
Creditor insurance is therefore an essential area of interest for a market-leading online real estate specialist like SeLoger.com, which is why the company has turned to Cardif as one of the world's leading providers of creditor insurance.
For some weeks now, the 7 million unique visitors to the SeLoger.com website have been able to calculate insurance simulations for their home buying plans.
Fully integrated into the graphic environment of the SeLoger.com website, the Cardif rate simulator offers visitors the opportunity to generate a quotation for the creditor insurance they will need to cover their mortgage loan all in just a few mouse clicks. Having generated the simulation at SeLoger.com, users of the site can finalize their policy application very simply by contacting a dedicated call center.
Better still: since 17%* of visitors view this website from their iPhone, Cardif has supplied SeLoger with a version of its simulator that is fully iPhone-compatible.
SeLoger.com Marketing Director David Labrosse explains: “We chose Cardif because it is recognized as setting the global benchmark for creditor insurance, and for its ability to respond to our needs in terms of web technology. Our aim is simply to give visitors of our website access to an appropriate creditor insurance simulator that is fully compatible with new web applications like the iPhone.”
