Vitality’s serious illness cover (SIC 3X) is now available on UnderwriteMe’s Protection Platform, allowing advisers to quote, compare and submit applications for all SIC products.
The insurer’s life insurance and income protection (IP) propositions already feature on the platform.
“Making SIC 3X available on UnderwriteMe completes the integration of our full SIC range on the platform,” said Justin Garbutt, director of IFA distribution at Vitality.
“This partnership is another step in making protection more accessible and ensuring more people have the cover they need.
“By combining comprehensive products with a seamless digital journey, we’re helping advisers support their customers and ultimately enhancing and protecting more lives.”

Vitality’s severity-based model offers payouts ranging from 5% to 75% of the sum assured.
SIC 3X includes an additional 31 lower-severity conditions compared to SIC 2X and allows policyholders to claim, in full, up to three times their sum assured if they are diagnosed with multiple conditions during the policy term.
Nilesh Patel, chief revenue and customer officer at UnderwriteMe, added: “It’s great to see Vitality’s SIC 3X product being added to The Protection Platform. This further enhances the suite of products already available on our platform to support customers’ ever-growing protection needs.”
Vitality is also live on iPipeline’s ‘Advanced Underwriting’ which launched on its sourcing platform SolutionBuilder earlier this year.
Collaborating with The Openwork Partnership, Advanced Underwriting was built in direct response to adviser feedback and aims to fundamentally change how protection product quotes translate into final terms.
