Life Insurance

A personal introduction to Kris from Canvas Insurance – Mike’s trusted insurance advisor.

Buying your first home, refinancing or upgrading is a big financial step. With a mortgage comes long-term responsibility, and that’s where smart protection planning starts.

Kris from Canvas is an experienced Auckland-based insurance broker who helps clients protect their homes and families with smart cover like life, income protection, trauma, mortgage and TPD insurance.

Why We Recommend Kris

He gets where you’re at

Kris understands the needs of first home buyers, because he’s been there too. From juggling a mortgage to raising a family, he’s committed to helping you protect what matters most.

Independent, with 15+ years of experience

As a local insurance broker, Kris works with top New Zealand providers so you’re not locked into just one company.

You deal directly with him

From the first meeting to claim time, it’s Kris you’ll talk to. No call centres, no confusing handovers – just straightforward support when you need it.

What to Expect

Working with Kris is simple and low-pressure. It starts with a relaxed, no-obligation chat to understand your situation. He’ll provide clear comparisons from multiple insurers, take care of all the paperwork and admin for you, and check in each year to make sure your cover still fits your life. It’s about making protection feel easy, not overwhelming.

Why Protection Matters

Taking on a mortgage means committing to long-term repayments. It’s worth asking:

  • What if illness or injury stopped your income?
  • What if you couldn’t make your mortgage repayments?
  • Could your family stay in the home you’ve worked so hard for?

Having the right insurance in place like life cover, income protection, trauma, TPD or mortgage protection helps you stay protected through life’s unexpected moments.
