Group insurance made easy
Sonnet group insurance saves your team time and money on their policies, increases their financial well-being, decreases financial stress, and offers you a frictionless implementation and onboarding process.
Our group insurance plans were specifically built to make your life easier. The implementation and onboarding processes are fast, simple, and completely frictionless. Reach out to our team to get things started, and we’ll build a framework for your program.
Our agreements are simple and flexible. Here’s how it works:
Once we’ve finalized our agreement, we set up a customized program that meets the needs of your company and its workforce.
We’ll create a unique landing page where members can learn about their exclusive discount, get a quote and get insured.
That’s it! We’ll launch the program and help you communicate the benefits with your team.
We’re proud to be a homegrown Canadian company, part of the Economical Insurance family, which has been trusted by Canadians since 1871.
Your members are busy, just like you. Give them an insurance option that saves them money, while providing a simple, frictionless experience when purchasing and managing their policies.

Adding a group discount is easy. Members just need to look for the “Group Discount” field when getting a home or auto quote. They can quickly search for the name of your organization and select it from the suggestions that appear. Next, we’ll ask for a group ID (usually an employee ID number or email address) to confirm that they’re a member. That’s it! Their group discount will automatically be applied to the quote.
