Switch4Good Limited is an introducer appointed representative of Innovative Risk Labs Ltd, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under firm reference number 609155. Switch4Good Limited introduces insurance only. It does not arrange or advise on the policy. The insurance introduction is to Revive Insure Limited which arranges the insurance as an appointed representative of Innovative Risk Labs Ltd. The insurance contract is between you and the insurer.

Innovative Risk Labs Ltd is not responsible for, and has not approved, any energy, broadband or other non-insurance product or service on this page. The Financial Ombudsman Service and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme do not cover those products.

Switch4Good is a commercial business and not a charity. We receive commission from certain service providers when supporters switch through the platform. At least 50% of eligible commission is allocated either directly to a chosen cause or to the Switch4Good Community Fund. Paid quarterly in arrears, around 90 days after the month a switch completes, once supplier clawback periods have passed.
