ROYAL COMMISSION RESPONSE: CLAIMS AS A FINANCIAL SERVICE.
This is the second blog in our Royal Commission Response series with Finity. In this blog we look at the recommendation to regulate claims handling as a ‘financial service’, including:
- What the goal of the recommendation is;
- How the recommendation may be implemented;
- The definition of ‘claims handling’;
- Which clients/ products would be protected; and
- Who the obligations would apply to.
If you need advice on what the Royal Commission recommendations mean for your business, get in touch with The Fold’s team of experts.
In case you missed it, our first blog in this series looked at how unfair contracts legislation may apply to insurance contracts.
