You Save on Premiums
Despite what Direct Insurers may say in their advertising, it is not necessarily cheaper to cut out the middleman. Insurers that use Brokers pay ongoing commission on premiums, as opposed to Direct Insurers, who often pay Call-Centre agents a commission. It may be difficult for you, the consumer, to compare quotes from insurers, because they may assess your risk differently, require different levels of excesses, and/or offer different “bells and whistles”, such as cash-back bonuses. This is an added reason for relying on the expertise of a broker in decision making.
Adheres to the Regulatory Environment
Brokers are obliged to be registered as financial services providers with the Financial Services Conduct Authority and must comply with the requirements of the FAIS Act. This addresses things such as disclosure, needs analysis and rights of recourse. Brokers receive ongoing professional education through regular conferences and workshops. Relationship managers from the insurance companies regularly call on brokers to keep them updated on development and latest products available.
