Once Enters Watch and Jewelry Coverage Market

Business Wire
Last month, Once Insurance Group made its market debut,
reimagining the small valuables insurance experience by offering a
single, one-time premium for comprehensive five-year protection of
each valuable. Customers save approximately 35% over the policy
term compared to traditional coverage options for similar
valuables.
A Once Insurance policy can be purchased online at the point of
sale and thereafter, with no appraisal required. The policy
consists of a one-time purchase and payment, which covers the item
for five years. There are no recurring monthly premiums and no
annual renewals, and therefore no premium hikes.
“We created Once to be the simplest, most affordable way to
insure your cherished possessions” said Dan Siegel, Director of
Insurance Markets for Once Insurance Group. “We’re the only
insurance product in North America offering a one-time payment for
coverage of five years at a time, allowing customers to enjoy their
valuables without worrying about ongoing and rising insurance
costs. We’re able to offer customers affordable watch and jewelry
coverage by simplifying the product and process, passing on savings
to the customer.”
Once never requires a deductible and all claims are paid
directly to the customer, so they can replace their valuable on
their own terms.
Once is fully digital, and coverage can be quoted, purchased and
fully obtained via their website: https://www.onceinsurance.com/.
The whole process should take up to three minutes. Coverage is
currently available for items up to $5,000 of value, with plans to
increase that in the near future.
Jewelry buyers can access the Once website at the point of sale
with QR codes and self-service kiosks in brick-and-mortar stores,
and via embedded or non-embedded links online, as well as through
many insurance brokerages. Once also aims to partner with payment
processors and other point of sale channels to offer customers a
seamless insurance option.
