LV= has been recognised as one of the leading online life insurance providers by independent customer experience benchmarker, Global Reviews. The news comes hot on the heels of the launch of LV='s redesigned website,

Against 13 competitors in the Q1 2009 online life insurance provider category*, LV= came second for its overall content, with a customer experience score of 57%. LV= topped the study for its online claims information, and its life insurance tips and advice section. LV= was ranked second for the customer support and prospective customers categories.

Overall, the LV= Customer Experience score was 57%, an increase of 4% from Q4 2008, and 10% higher than the online life insurance industry average.

LV= ecommerce director Paul Wishman said: "We are delighted to receive such positive external feedback about our website, particularly after a major redesign and re-launch. Slick online purchasing capability is increasingly important in today's financial services marketplace and we are committed to continually developing content and usability to enhance the overall online customer experience."

LV= re-launched its website in March 2009. New features include a 'top tab' navigation system giving users 'one-click' access to all products, and a financial advice tab which consumers can click on to complete an online financial health check and book an appointment with one of LV='s financial advisers.
