Ace has developed an online agency agreement targeted at small-to-medium regional private brokers.
The insurer is committed to providing brokers with a wide variety of distribution channels, including Ace Online, Imarket and software houses such as Acturis and SectorNet.
Mark Whitehead, Ace's European e-commerce manager said: “Ace's traditional agency process was created to support high value policies with an enhanced degree of customisation. However, the online market is focused on smaller, more standardised products.
“We now have a number of online distribution channels that can provide smaller regional brokers with access to products such as D&O, ComputerGuard+, PI, business travel and environmental liability, all of which offer real value to commercial clients. The new online agency agreement supports our e-commerce offerings by streamlining the process of trading with Ace.”
ACE has also simplified the financial settlement and accounting process by working with Premium Credit to develop a scheme that significantly reduces the finance and reconciliation processes.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
