Professional Indemnity Insurance is vital for any Financial Services professional but in particular FCA regulated firms needing cover to fulfil their regulatory obligations. Cover is suitable for Commercial Finance Brokers, Credit Brokers and Asset Finance firms needing cover to meet their trade association membership requirements or other contractual responsibilities as well as to protect their business from increasing numbers of claims. Cover is suitable for FIBA members.
PI cover for Finance Brokers will provide levels of indemnity flexible enough to manage your income and risk requirements and is available from £100,000 up to £2 million in the aggregate, which is more cover than specified under most trade association requirements. You can of course request higher levels of cover by calling us but there will be additional queries raised with you in respect of this.
However as cover holders we are looking to work with low risk Intermediaries with a good standing in the market, who work within their trade association rules and compliance requirements, who are free from complaints and which will be reflected in the quality of cover and the premium levels offered.
In all we understand the needs of the FCA regulated and non regulated Finance Intermediary and the necessity to work with Insurers who have the desire to support the financial markets, which of course have been the subject of bad publicity over the last decade.
We won’t provide on-line quotes for this class of business just yet but you can download an application form and submit to us by fax, post or email to obtain a quotation.
