Different than other providers

home insurance customers love and trust

N/A out of 5. That’s how customers rate Square One Insurance Services after writing N/A reviews. And with an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, people clearly love the way we’re changing home insurance.

Digital platform

With Square One, you can get a quote, buy a policy and even submit a claim – all online, from the comfort of your own home. Quotes and policies are managed through your online account or mobile app, but if you need help, expert assistance from one of our licensed insurance agents is just a webchat or phone call away.

Superior protection

All policies from Square One represent the highest level of protection currently available in Canada. We make it easy for you to protect your home against common perils (such as water damage and theft) and we even cover the costs of rebuilding your home to meet the latest bylaw or code changes.

Guaranteed building replacement coverage

Get the peace of mind you deserve. Simply insure your home to Square One’s suggested limit and, if you experience a loss, we’ll rebuild your home, even if the cost of doing so exceeds your limit of insurance.

Personalized coverage

All policies protect most common personal property items including laptops, smartphones and furniture. If you own specialty property (such as bicycles or fine arts) you can also add coverage to your policy. That way, you only pay to insure what you actually own.

Need to make a claim?

Making a claim with Square One is easy. In fact, most of the process can be done online. You’ll get your own dedicated adjuster to work with you from start to finish to make sure you’re back on your feet in no time. And, Square One pays out on over 90% of all claims submitted.

Interest-free monthly payments

We’re confident you’ll love our service and stay with us. That’s why we don’t lock you into a contract. With us, you can pay monthly or annually and there’s no fixed-term contract. You can also change your payment preferences through your online account.

What you really want to know

How are claims handled?

The insurance industry doesn’t have the greatest reputation when it comes to claims. Many people fear their insurer will go to any length possible to avoid paying claims. At Square One, we’re different. We’re there when you need us most.

How different? Legal jargon can be confusing, so we’ve created a transparency page to translate the legal language of your policy into plain English.

We’re committed to changing how you think of insurance. We’ll make sure your claim is handled quickly and fairly.
