About KANETIX

KANETIX is your advocate and champion for choice, offering you not only the freedom to compare quotes for all your insurance needs but also offering financial services that make shopping online feel as easy as it is empowering. As Canada's premier online comparison site for insurance, mortgages and credit cards, we help you compare more quotes quickly so that you can secure rates from many of the nation's top providers with ease.

Insurance

When it comes to insurance, KANETIX has you covered. We work closely with many of Canada's best-known and trusted insurers to provide you with the best possible rates, in real time, all in one place. KANETIX gives consumers access to one of the most comprehensive networks of insurers in Canada. There are three ways insurance is sold in Canada - through brokers, agents and direct sellers- and KANETIX is the only online service which provides Canadians access to all three.

Our philosophy is simple: Pay less and get more. When you shop for insurance with KANETIX, you can compare quotes from multiple providers so that you can get the most from your coverage. Whether you're looking to compare and secure insurance for your car, home, travel, life, health, business, motorcycle, visitors to Canada, or pet - we believe the important things in life should come with options.

Mortgages

KANETIX also raises the roof when it comes to shopping for a mortgage. We are the first in Canada to offer new and existing homeowners the option to compare and secure the lowest bank and non-bank lender mortgage rates-and get pre-approved online-at home or on-the-go.

Credit Cards

When it comes to credit cards, KANETIX helps you take charge. Available nationwide, you can compare credit card features, benefits and rewards easily online to find the best credit card for your needs.

KANETIX: Canada and beyond

Backed with the knowledge, expertise and success of providing online insurance quotes through KANETIX.ca, KANETIX also looks to be a champion for choice to our neighbours to the south. With KANETIX.com, U.S. residents can get quotes for auto, home, life, motorcycle and health insurance. Across the U.S., many Americans are able-with KANETIX.com - to enjoy the same freedom of choice to choose the financial services which fit their lifestyle and budget best.


At the beginning of the dot com era in 1999, KANETIX was founded based on the belief that shopping for insurance was too time consuming. It could be easier. It should be easier. And, easier it was going to be.

KANETIX set out to innovate the insurance industry and create an online tool where Canadians could enter their information-once, and just once-to get quotes from many competing insurance providers and by 2001, KANETIX became the only national provider of insurance quotes online in both languages.

In 2011, Monitor Clipper Partners invested in KANETIX believing that the market share of online insurance would grow exponentially. KANETIX'S founding partners, moved to the board of directors and along with the change, a strong belief in moving the brand from an online insurance quote provider to a robust online marketplace for financial services came about. Today, through its leadership, expertise and experience, KANETIX continues to grow along with its partners into an online financial ecosystem leader.

"Why KANETIX®?" you may ask. "It doesn't have anything to do with insurance."

You're right. We wanted a fresh, original name to reflect the unique ways we are changing how people shop for insurance. In the "dot-com" world, a unique name is crucial in order to be found on the Web. If you looked for "KANETIX" in most search engines, it would be hard not to find us.

The name "KANETIX" comes from the word "kinetic" meaning active, dynamic and energizing. Kinetic theory states that all substances have particles that are in vigorous motion. This sums up what KANETIX is all about - always moving to create a fast, convenient service.

Why the strange spelling?

kan - because it sounds Canadian
k - to show we are different
net - because that's our business
x - the "x" in our logo shows the transfer of information through motion
.ca - because we are Canadian
