As catalogued
Household contents insurance that customers could calculate and buy online directly from AXA Switzerland; catalogued as an example of direct online distribution by an incumbent.
2026 reality
AXA Switzerland sells modular household contents insurance online (premium calculator; basic cover for fire, theft, water and natural hazards plus optional supplementary and all-round modules covering e.g. smartphones, bicycles and jewellery), also as a combined household and liability product, with a myAXA customer login.
The original model remains substantially intact.
online quote-and-buy for contents insurance is now standard in Switzerland; the offer is a mainstream incumbent product rather than a distinctive innovation.
Third taxonomy
REVIEW · Spot-checked the AXA household contents page (online calculator, modular cover, combined liability product); softened the unverified claim about online claims and policy management via myAXA to the documented myAXA login.
