About Direct Life

We combine innovative technology with great people skills to deliver a unique, winning combination of on and offline services for our customers and business partners. Working here, you can directly evolve these further, make a real difference, fulfil ambitions and get a fantastic sense of achievement.

In line with our mantra of ‘Life Made Simple’ our new digital life insurance broker, Money For Them, launched in Feb 2020 offers traditional life insurance policies digitally through a mobile first service. The mission is to make the buying journey associated with life insurance as easy as possible on mobile and to test a range of new associated services. We’ve started with 2 products live, taking inspiration from outside financial services and fast moving consumer goods companies. And it’s no surprise we want to do more and bring lots of ideas into the market.

We are ready to hire more people to help us deliver further experiments.
