About IDC Insurance
Our Mission
IDC Insurance Direct Canada is the leader in the direct distribution of life, living benefits, health, travel and group insurance products. We simplify online quote comparison and help Canadian families, business owners and solopreneurs find the best rates for the proper coverage.
IDC Insurance’s mission is to help Canadians get the insurance they need at the best possible rates, given their unique requirements and health history, by working closely with licensed insurance experts and underwriters at major insurance companies.
The Founder’s Story
In 2002, Russ Smart, the company’s founder, was referred to a lady who had her home foreclosed because the bank did not pay out on their mortgage insurance. Russ wanted to get the message out to as many people as possible and turned to the best online information portal he could find. As a result, he pioneered proper life insurance sales over the Internet. To accomplish this, he established a network of experienced insurance advisors with over 300 years of combined experience. Our expert advisors can answer any question and know where to get the answer if they don’t. Today, IDC Insurance continues to be a leader in the marketplace. Our advisors are licensed to sell life, health, travel and mortgage insurance products to individuals, families and businesses across Canada.
Over the past fifteen years we have sold well over $2 billion in life insurance coverage to over 12,000 clients. We know that it usually takes time to feel comfortable working with someone you have not met. We pride ourselves in taking the time to get to know you, your individual situation, and your family so that we can help you decide on what amount and type of insurance is best for you and your budget.
Over the years, we have established unique and lasting relationships with all the companies who support our pioneering non-face-to-face (meaning no advisors will visit) business model. These companies recognize our dedication to quality of service and have offered us special consideration due to our outstanding service history with no client complaints. Our team of well-trained and trusted insurance professionals will save you time and money. We are only a phone call or email away from helping you make important decisions about your insurance needs or policy changes; of course, we will be there to assist you at claim time.
