What happens after you accept an insurance quote
Habivista hands the introduction to the insurer; everything from formal application onward sits with them.
1 min read·Updated 10 May 2026
When you accept an indicative quote on Habivista, two things happen automatically:
- The other partners auto-decline. They're notified you've gone with someone else, freeing their underwriting team to focus on live applicants.
- Your chosen insurer receives a "go" message with your contact details and the application snapshot.
What the insurer does next
- Reaches out directly within their stated decision window (visible on each insurer's row in the comparison table).
- Sends a formal application form — usually a PDF or web form.
- Arranges a property survey or asks for photos. Some insurers accept video walkthroughs for diaspora clients.
- Issues a binding quote and policy schedule once underwriting completes.
- Collects the first premium directly. Habivista never collects your premium.
