The Channel Metrics briefing about mortgage payment protection insurance is the most detailed and up-to-date guide to distribution trends in mortgage payment protection insurance in the UK available on a published basis. It analyses: how consumers acquire mortgage payment protection insurance - e.g. online, telephone, post or in person; from whom they acquire them - e.g. direct from the provider, through intermediaries or affinity schemes; and how often they acquire them - i.e. how many consumers acquired mortgage payment protection insurance in the last year, either for the first time or by switching provider instead of renewing or carrying on with an existing product. Findings from this survey are compared with those from 2007 to show trends over time.
