Affinity Solutions
What is Affinity Solutions?
Affinity Solutions, also known as affinity group insurance, includes several supplemental health insurance coverages and travel protection benefits that associations, financial institutions, membership clubs and other eligible groups can offer to their members. These specialized benefits can add value to any organization by helping to retain and grow its membership base.
Zurich Affinity Solutions is a portfolio of customizable insurance products that offers a financial safety net for a range of accidents, illnesses, and travel disruptions, often with no restrictions on how the payout is used.
Why should you offer supplemental benefits insurance to your affinity group or association?
As out-of-pocket medical expenses rise,1 coverage that helps people manage high deductibles, co-pays and other expenses not covered in other healthcare plans can be an attractive benefit that may give your organization an advantage over the competition.
For associations and affinity groups, offering supplemental benefits shows current and potential new members that your organization is invested in their overall health and financial well-being. And financial institutions can use the coverage offerings to show customers they have a wider view of how to help them protect their savings.
