About Canvas Insurance
At Canvas Insurance, we want insurance to feel simple.
We’re a family-run insurance brokerage based in Auckland, helping everyday New Zealanders protect what matters most, their families, income, homes, and future.
When you work with Canvas, you’ll work directly with Kris Haak, an experienced insurance adviser with more than 14 years in the industry. As a husband and dad himself, Kris understands how quickly life changes, and how important it is to have the right cover in place when people depend on you.
Behind the scenes, there is Lois. She looks after the website, customer communications, and the Canvas brand experience. From the emails you receive to the content you read online, Lois helps make sure everything feels clear, approachable, and genuinely helpful.
Together, we’ve built Canvas to feel different from traditional insurance businesses.
No confusing jargon. No pushy sales tactics. Just honest advice, personal support, and real conversations from people who understand family life themselves.
We know insurance can feel overwhelming, so our goal is to make the process simple, transparent, and comfortable from start to finish. Whether you’re buying your first home, growing your family, running a business, or reviewing your cover after a big life change, we’re here to help guide you through it.
And if you ever need to make a claim, you won’t be passed around a call centre, you’ll have direct support from Kris every step of the way.
How it Works
Don’t get lost in the fine print – talk to a real person who cares. We can even have everything sorted without you needing to leave the couch.
