Amazon is shutting its UK insurance business less than two years after its launch.

The online retail giant launched The Amazon Insurance Store in October 2022 with a range of home and contents policies sold through leading insurers LV, Co-op and Ageas. It said it would look to expand into more products with more partners added over time.
