About PolicyMe

Protecting loved ones is on the minds of millions of Canadians. In a time of economic uncertainty, it’s important for people to realize that doing so is easier and more affordable than they may have been led to believe.

Andrew Ostro, CEO & Co-Founder of PolicyMe

The process of buying life insurance is flawed:

Through selling thousands of policies from the biggest insurers, to consulting senior executives at these companies themselves, our founders learned firsthand how broken the industry was.
Close Button
Dishonest: Agents often recommend policies that give them the highest commission, not the best coverage for you
Close Button
Uncertain: It takes weeks or months to find out whether you've been approved for life insurance
Close Button
Expensive: Life insurance policies include countless unnecessary expenses and processes that inflate the cost
Close Button
Uncomfortable: Getting advice and buying a policy involves multiple uncomfortable meetings with multiple people
Close Button
Misleading: Insurance companies advertise accelerated or simplified application processes, while charging you a higher rate than you should be

We're on a mission to fix it
