Insurance brokerage platform VIU by HUB has partnered with mortgage servicing company Valon to provide homeowners with streamlined insurance options amid rising costs.
Through the partnership, Valon customers will have access to instant insurance quotes from multiple carriers along with guidance from licensed agents. The collaboration aims to simplify policy management and renewals while helping homeowners secure appropriate coverage, company leaders said.
“This partnership represents our commitment to removing barriers from the insurance process and minimizing consumer risk,” Bryan Davis, president of VIU by HUB, said in a statement.
“By integrating our comprehensive insurance solution directly into Valon’s platform, we’re empowering homeowners with transparency, choice and confidence at a critical decision point, whether that’s during the initial home purchase or at policy renewal time.”
At the national level, homeowners are facing premium increases of up to 15% this year, according to VIU. The integration of VIU’s services into Valon’s platform will allow users to compare rates, receive renewal alerts and identify potential coverage gaps.
Valon CEO Andrew Wang said the partnership aligns with the company’s goal of improving transparency in homeownership.
“Insurance has historically been a friction point for homeowners, with limited visibility and complex choices,” he said. “Partnering with VIU allows us to solve this challenge with technology while maintaining the human expertise our clients value. Together, we’re creating a better experience at every stage of the homeownership journey.”
VIU, a subsidiary of Hub International, provides digital insurance tools across multiple industries.
In February, Valon announced a partnership with Ownwell to offer property tax savings services. Valon also raised $100 million in Series C funding in late 2024 to boost its product development and outreach efforts.
