The Insurance Poverty Premium: what is it and what must insurers and brokers do right now?

With the issues of financial inclusion and fair value very high (and rightly so) on the FCA´s agenda, as well as the issue of the poverty premium in insurance receiving a great deal of parliamentary scrutiny, it is important that insurers and brokers understand what exactly the poverty premium is and what they must do right now!

Vulnerable Customers
Alan Chandler, Chartered Insurer, will look at how firms have been treating customers unfairly including some disturbing case studies. The presentation will include how the FCA define vulnerable customer, the measures all firms are expected to put in place and how the requirements on all firms are changing to make sure the most vulnerable are protected going forward. This continues to be a hot topic for the regulator and failure to comply leaves firms open to disciplinary measures from the regulator.
