Insurance brokers play a vital role in connecting clients with suitable insurance providers. They serve as professional intermediaries, helping clients navigate the complexities of the insurance market to find the best policies for their needs. Insurance brokers have extensive knowledge of various insurance products, which enables them to negotiate better terms, prices, and coverage on behalf of their clients.
In Kenya, the insurance sector is regulated by the Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA). This regulatory body is tasked with licensing, overseeing, and ensuring compliance in the insurance market to protect the interests of the public. As of 2024, the IRA has licensed a total of 180 insurance brokers in the country.
Why Choose a Licensed Insurance Broker?
When selecting an insurance broker, it’s essential to choose one that is licensed by the IRA. Licensed brokers are bound by regulatory guidelines that ensure accountability, transparency, and integrity. They are also required to have the necessary qualifications and experience, providing peace of mind to clients seeking guidance and protection.
Insurance brokers are instrumental in various aspects, such as:
Customizing Insurance Solutions: Brokers can tailor policies to fit specific needs, whether it’s life insurance, health, motor, or property insurance.
Advocating for Clients: They work to protect their clients’ interests during claims processes and negotiate on their behalf.
Expertise and Market Insights: Brokers have a thorough understanding of the insurance market and can provide valuable insights that direct clients towards the best options.
