PolicyMe makes money by operating like any other insurer: we sell insurance products, namely term life insurance and critical illness insurance, which are underwritten by Canadian Premier. We've automated operations, which cuts out the middleman and reduces underwriting requirements (such as medical exams). As such we're able to pass along the savings to our thousands of customers across Canada, all while providing high quality coverage.
