Insuranceopedia was founded in 2014. Combining expertise in the insurance industry with digital media expertise, the site was intended as a way to educate readers about insurance and demystify its core concepts.

Over the years, Insuranceopedia has grown to include a dictionary of more than 2,300 insurance-related definitions as well as a huge selection of educational content around all types of insurance. The site has also become a key resource for consumers as well as insurance brokers and financial professionals who are looking to help educate their clients.

For almost a decade, Insuranceopedia provided answers to key insurance concepts that everyday people wanted to learn about. However, Insuranceopedia transformed itself in 2023, when it realized that it was capable of providing people with much more assistance on their insurance journey.

It was then that Insuranceopedia began its mission to help people find the best insurance policies, for their individual needs. This vision was lead by Max Coupland, the company CEO. Max had seen first-hand how being matched with the wrong insurance carriers can affect people’s lives. He saw his mother, who has Coeliac disease (an autoimmune condition), struggle with her health insurance provider, as they constantly sought for ways to avoid paying her health insurance claims.

It was then that Max set out to introduce a new way of matching people with trusted insurance carriers. This shaped the future direction of Insuranceopedia.

Now Insuranceopedia does just that; ensuring that people are matched up with trusted insurance brands, with the right insurance policies for their specific needs.
