Website and research upgrades: what you need to know – website version v4.6.6 / QPR v16.4
Our team have made some monstrously good updates to Quotemonster recently. If you’ve noticed we’re running a bit slower than usual, please refresh your page and scroll down to ensure that you’re on our latest version – QUOTE ENGINE V.3.0 B1 | QPR V.16.4 | WEB V4.6.6.
Researchmonster updates:
- Pricing and research available for SBS Home Loan Repayment Cover
SBS Insurance launched a new mortgage protection product on 1 February 2025.
To include the company in your price and research comparisons, simply ensure they are selected in your Product and Provider Settings.
- Upgrade to Multi Trauma Functionality
We have made an update to how Fidelity’s Multi Trauma product is quoted, and this is a direct result of adviser feedback. When Instant Trauma Buyback is selected, Fidelity Life’s Multi Trauma product will now automatically be quoted in your comparison, alongside the following products:
Asteron Life and Chubb Life’s Continuous Trauma, and Partners Life Immediate Buyback.
- Minor review of the following items:
Trauma - minor sub-item review for Inflation Adjusted Benefit (personal) and Life Cover Buyback (personal & business)
TPD - minor sub-item review for Counselling & Support (personal & business)
Income and Mortgage Protection - sub-item review for Reduction in Wait Period (personal)
Other noteworthy updates:
- Updated terms and conditions pop-up
We’ve updated our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy to keep things fresh, legal, and slightly more interesting than watching paint dry.
What's changed? Some boring but important updates about Kiwimonster, data protection and slick new tools like API’s—because the future is coming, and our policies need to keep up!
Before you start crunching, please read our new terms and click Agree and Continue. Once accepted, you won’t see the pop-up again. However, if you’re in front of a client we will allow you to skip once, but you’ll need to agree the next time around or you will no longer be able to login.
This will appear on all logins including PA logins the next time each user tries to log in.
