The service for life insurance referrals will give clients access to the price and product comparison services provided by Lifebroker across the following types of insurance: life insurance, income protection, total and permanent disability insurance, trauma insurance, business expense insurance and life insurance through superannuation.

“We look forward to working with AFG to give their clients more choice and control over their insurance options,” Lifebroker CEO Alex Homer said.
