Cyber security insurance: Have you got it covered?  

The cyber security landscape is arguably one of the most dynamic insurance landscapes due to constantly evolving cyber threats and technological developments that give cyber attackers new opportunities to access your client’s business programs and data.   With developments in the digital realm and advancing technology comes a lot of good for business owners, but also some bad. Cyber criminals benefit from these advancements (such as AI) just as much as honest business owners, and they’re using them to refine their cyber-attack techniques.

Motor GAP insurance on pause: The impact on brokers 

After the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) instructed many motor insurers to pause selling motor GAP insurance due to concerns that providers weren’t providing fair value to consumers earlier this month, 80% of firms retracted their policies from the market.   Last year, the FCA revealed in letters sent to all insurance firms that they had identified evidence that some GAP insurance products were failing to provide fair value to their customers and were therefore in breach of consumer duty.  For the most part, the sale of GAP insurance is still on pause, with many brokers unsure when they’ll be able

Brokers warn of dangers of underinsurance as comparison sites gain traction in commercial lines  

After years of speculation about what it would look like and when it would happen, Amazon announced its much-anticipated insurance offering in October 2022. And, since rumours of a potential Amazon aggregator have circulated since 2018, it did not come as a surprise to anyone in the insurance sector that the tech giant was launching a price comparison website (PCW).  However, the move did reignite the discussion about how PCWs have impacted the broker market and how they will continue to do so in the future.

Appointed representatives are the engine of insurance growth for the future

The broker market is constantly changing, but perhaps not in the way most people think. We often hear worrying reports of the diminishing number of brokers, but with more and more people picking the Appointed Representative model, I believe we are in for some exciting shifts in the market soon. And it will be interesting to see if a return to the high street is on the horizon as more brokers are set up to serve their local communities and diversify into cross-selling financial services products.  A topic that has constantly been on people’s minds over the last few years

Brokers are facing insurance distribution challenges that are set to reshape the insurance sector for good Experts have predicted that the cost-of-living crisis, regulation, consolidation, emerging technologies and changing customer demands are among the factors which will drive change in 2023. But brokers also have the opportunity to prove their value in the distribution chain.
