Registering and using Zurich Services 

To be able to use the Life Protection Platform, or off-platform investments (Plan Enquiry, CEB2B) services, you need to register your firm with Zurich.

If you haven't already done so, you'll need to sign up to Zurich's Terms of Business through Origo.

If you have already done this, you can register with each service as described below.

Useful tools to help you through the registration process

    Register my firm for Life Protection Platform

    • Step 1: Create a Zurich Services username

      In order to set up a firm, you have to nominate and register an administrator. To find out what an administrator's role is, see the relevant section in the FAQs.

      If you are a current Protection Hub user, you can use that username when setting up the administrator. If you’re not sure what this is, more information is available in the Find my current Protection Hub username section in the FAQs below.

      The administrator username can only be used once per Firm Reference Number (FRN) being set up. If you need to be an administrator on multiple FRNs, then you should carefully consider which FRN you want your existing username linked to. Your existing username must match up with the FRN’s Financial Conduct Authority number.

      If you don't have a username or you don't want to use your current username for the administrator, you can create one by registering for Zurich Services through the links below.

      Before moving to Step 2, you must know your username.

FAQs

Find my current Protection Hub username

If you are a current Protection Hub user and wish to be setup as an administrator or paraplanner on the Life Protection Platform, then you’ll need to know your username.

If you're a username/password user then it's the credentials that you use to sign in to ZHub. If you're not sure what your username is, please contact eSupport.

What access do advisers have?

Advisers have access to quote, apply/submit business, review pipeline, activate policies and enact contractual change on the clients’ policies.

What access do paraplanners have?

This role gives access to all, or specified advisers in their firm to work on their behalf. They cannot set up other paraplanners or administrators. They also won't be able to manage their own rights or permissions. Only the administrator has the ability to do this.

What access do administrators have?

This is a 'Super User' role and can set up new paraplanners and administrators. They can also manage paraplanner access to advisers to set their rights and permissions and to view commission statements (these are the only users who can view the commission statements). All firms should have at least one administrator.

The administrator cannot quote and apply for business unless they give themselves paraplanner rights. For sole trader firms, we recommend that the administrator account is set up with paraplanner rights and authorised to process business on behalf of the adviser account. The adviser will still need to register as an adviser.
