What Lifestyle Insurance does

Lifestyle Insurance is an independent Hong Kong insurance broker, established in 2010 and operating as a trade name of Platinum Financial Services Limited under the Business Class Group. The firm is registered with the Insurance Authority of Hong Kong under Registration Number FB1187 to transact General and Life (including Linked Long Term) insurance business, and works with a panel of 40+ insurance companies to deliver advisory and placement services across Personal, Home and Business lines.

The product portfolio spans health, expat medical, travel, life, critical illness, overseas student and mortgage protection insurance for individuals; home contents, buildings and fire, motor, fine art and jewellery, and domestic helper cover for property owners; and a comprehensive commercial suite for SMEs including office package, products liability, group medical, employees' compensation, MPF, cyber, D&O, professional indemnity, public liability and contract works coverage. Distribution combines a five-step consultation-led sales motion (phone, video or in-person) with a self-serve 'Buy Now' portal at lfsinsure.com offering 15% off premiums on simple products, plus a Lifestyle Club affiliate channel delivering 25% discounts to partner organisations such as the Irish Chamber of Hong Kong and HK Dragons Football Club.

The firm earns revenue through commissions paid by its 40+ carrier partners on policies placed, with free, obligation-free advice provided to customers. The core technology is a standard brokerage platform with online quote and comparison tools rather than proprietary underwriting or AI capabilities, and the competitive proposition rests on independence, breadth of panel access, price-match guarantees and the 80+ years of combined broking experience within the Hong Kong team.
