Pineapple Financial Launches Pineapple Insurance
Pineapple Financial, a Canadian mortgage company, has officially launched Pineapple Insurance, marking a significant expansion of its business.

The new venture, described as a “transformative business vertical,” is expected to unlock substantial growth potential for the company.

Pineapple Insurance will operate as a managing general agent in Ontario, Manitoba, British Columbia, and Alberta, offering life, creditor, and disability insurance. The company’s move into the insurance sector is seen as a natural progression, following Pineapple Financial’s July partnership with Walnut Insurance, which integrated property and casualty (P&C) products into its deal management system. Allowing brokers to request insurance quotes for clients at specific stages of the mortgage process.
