Quicken Insuremarket Grows With Addition of UNUM
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - September 04, 1997 - Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ: INTU) today announced that UNUM is participating in Quicken InsureMarket by providing product information about individual disability income and long term care insurance.

UNUM is the first company to provide information about these products on Quicken InsureMarket (http://www.insuremarket.com). The information is available now, along with a referral service allowing consumers to contact UNUM for additional information or assistance from a UNUM representative with policy quotes or policy purchases.

UNUM's Lifelong Disability Protection coverage replaces income lost as a result of disability and can include additional protection in cases of severe disability. Its individual long term care insurance supports a range of options, including home care provided by professionals or informal care provided by family or friends.

"Expanding into this new area of insurance information is further evidence of Quicken InsureMarket's commitment to bringing Internet convenience to insurance consumers with online access to a comprehensive range of services provided by leading, national companies," says Steven Aldrich, president of the Intuit subsidiary Interactive Insurance Services Corp. (IIS), which developed Quicken InsureMarket.

Quicken InsureMarket is the leading insurance site on the Internet, with participation from major, national insurance carriers, and the ability to offer real-time rate quotes and online payment options, which can facilitate the process of acquiring insurance. The full-service site also features educational material, interactive insurance planning tools and information from independent insurance experts.

Carriers participating in Quicken InsureMarket include: the Allstate Insurance Company, John Hancock Financial Services, Lincoln Benefit Life, MetLife, State Farm Insurance, TIG Insurance Company, Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company, UNUM, Western Security Life and Zurich Direct.

Quicken InsureMarket provides real-time rate quotes and online payment options for term life policies, and agent referral services for term and other life insurance. Later this year, Quicken InsureMarket plans to introduce auto insurance services.

Quicken InsureMarket is part of Quicken.com (www.quicken.com), which provides individuals with objective information and interactive tools to make sound financial decisions. It then provides links to leading financial service providers so consumers can implement those decisions more conveniently than ever, saving time and money. InsureMarket provides individualized, real-time rate quotes, and provides online purchase and payment options not available on many other Internet insurance sites that offer only sample rate quotes.

IIS, the creator of Quicken InsureMarket, and its designated employees are licensed as insurance agents for life and health in 49 states and Washington, D.C., and as agents for property and casualty in 49 states and Washington, D.C.
