CHICAGO, Aug. 17, 2023 – VIU by HUB (VIU), an omnichannel insurance brokerage platform, today announced a partnership with Sacramento-based Highlands Community Charter School (Highlands) to simplify the personal insurance journey for its faculty, staff, students and alumni by delivering trusted advice and the ability to shop for and compare quotes, purchase and navigate policies. The partnership also generates ancillary revenue to support the school’s mission to provide a free high school education to adults in the area.
Powered by Hub International Limited (HUB), a leading global insurance brokerage and financial services firm, VIU is rapidly changing the personal insurance experience with its embedded broker platform and omnichannel approach featuring a digital-first experience, which is supported by personalized live agent interactions and trusted advice.
“At VIU by HUB, we know that education is key to reducing consumer risk and avoiding the financial pressures that can result from being underinsured,” said Bryan Davis, EVP and Head of VIU. “That’s why we are proud to partner with an organization committed to providing access to education, technology, communication and employment for a diverse community of adults. We look forward to helping Highlands members protect what matters most to them through coverage that fits their needs.”
VIU’s technical capabilities allow the platform to be easily embedded within the workflows, communications and systems of partner organizations, such as alumni associations, enabling them to provide added value to their members and clients while supporting their organizational growth and goals.
“At Highlands, we are building self-sufficiency and generational change. Providing our students with the opportunity to pursue a high school diploma is one step toward that. Another is helping our community find the tools they need to support all areas of life,” said Mike Reid, Chief Operations Officer of Highlands. “With VIU by HUB, our community will have the ability to compare coverage quotes through a licensed and independent broker while receiving trusted advice from agents who can also educate them on their policies.”
Through this partnership, VIU offers members of the Highlands’ community the ability to shop for quotes, compare, purchase and manage policies across home, auto, condo, renters, life and pet insurance.
