The Canadian Council
of Insurance Regulators, after public consultations
agreed on three principles as best practices
in managing actual or potential conflicts
of interest. The
principles promote consumer confidence in
the insurance industry by outlining best
practices for managing these situations when
they arise.
The Principles are:
- The client’s interests come first. Agents
and Brokers must put the interests of policyholders
and purchasers of insurance ahead of their
own.
- Make clear any conflicts
or potential conflicts of interest. Consumers
must receive disclosure of any actual or
potential conflict of interest that is
associated with a transaction or recommendation.
- Ensure products are
the right fit. The
products recommended must meet the needs
of the insurance consumer.
Bay of Quinte Mutual
Insurance Co. supports these principles. If
you feel that our representatives are not
following them, please let us know.
Our company, like all insurers
in Ontario is regulated by the Financial
Services Commission of Ontario.
