Trussle introduces protection arm

Online mortgage broker Trussle has launched a protection team to advise and protect its customers.

Trussle customers will be offered a free protection review with a qualified adviser, who will compare deals from a number of providers and recommend the right amount of cover for their needs.

This will encompass the three main types of protection insurance: income protection, critical illness cover and life insurance.
