Our verdict

Wefox is a Swiss broker rather than an insurer, so it arranges cover with underwriters while the contract sits with the provider. It suits people who want life cover with income protection and home emergency in one place. Support runs on app, phone and email.

Who it suits

  • People who want life, income protection and home emergency cover arranged in one place
  • Shoppers who value a terminal illness advance payout alongside death benefit
  • Anyone comfortable dealing with a broker rather than a single insurer

Who should look elsewhere

  • Shoppers who want to deal with one insurer directly rather than a broker
  • Buyers who need a terminal illness advance payout above the fixed ceiling
  • People who want phone claims handled by the same team as the policy, since chat and email covers chat and email

Safety of your money

Wefox is a broker rather than the company that carries the risk. It puts cover in front of you from insurers it works with, and the contract you sign is with that provider, not with Wefox. The terminal illness advance payout on the life offer is a percentage of the insured amount up to a fixed ceiling, and the age band for it is set out under Under 65 for terminal illness advance payout. Check which insurer sits behind a quote before you sign.

Who runs it

The legal entity is wefox Holding AG (CHE-375.651.476), registered in Switzerland and founded in 2015. That Swiss base is worth noting, since cover placed outside your own country sits under a different regulator and a different complaints route. Policy questions go through chat and email, and the presence of phone and app channels under app, phone and email means the claim side is broader than the support side.

Frequently asked questions

Is Wefox an insurer or a broker?+

Wefox is a broker. It compares and arranges policies from insurers rather than carrying the risk itself, so the contract sits with the provider shown on your quote. The legal entity behind the brand is wefox Holding AG (CHE-375.651.476).

What kinds of cover can I arrange through Wefox?+

The range listed is life, income protection and home emergency. That means life cover alongside income protection and home emergency cover, so several protections can sit in one place instead of separate applications.

Does the life cover include a terminal illness payout?+

Yes, there is a terminal illness advance payout, set as a share of the insured amount and capped at a fixed maximum. The age band it applies to is given under Under 65 for terminal illness advance payout, so check that before relying on it.

How do I make a claim?+

Claims can be raised through app, phone and email. General policy questions and changes go through chat and email, which is a narrower set, so keep the claim route separate from the support route.

Which country is Wefox based in?+

The registered entity sits in CH and has traded since 2015. Because the brand is based abroad, the regulator and complaints route for a policy depend on the market it is placed in.

Is Wefox suitable if I only want life insurance?+

It works, since life cover is part of life, income protection and home emergency, though you would be arranging the other cover types as well. If life cover alone is your goal, Linxea lists life only and is the narrower fit.

Can I get cover for my home and travel through the same place?+

Not through Wefox, since life, income protection and home emergency covers life, income protection and home emergency. For home and travel, Euroasia Insurance lists auto, home and travel, which is the closer match for that request.
