Group benefits and property and casualty (P&C) insurance are coming together for some Ontario benefits plan members after Onlia Holding Inc., a digital provider of home and auto insurance in Ontario, announced it has partnered with benefits consulting firm, Sterling Capital Brokers to sell the P&C products to group plan members.

The company says it is expanding its online experience with a new group insurance benefits platform to give employers the opportunity to add home and auto insurance to their group benefits packages. 

“Benefits mean something different to every company, but traditionally include health ad wellness packages,” says Stefan Ionescu, co-founder and global head of sales at Sterling Capital. “We’re excited to now offer a more fulsome compensation package for employers with the inclusion of home and auto insurance.” 

Onlia, established in 2018, is a joint venture between Achema Canada Holding Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Achmea B.V., the largest insurance group in the Netherlands, and Canadian holding company Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited. The firm is provincially regulated in Ontario.
