As a leading insurer of financial institutions’ professional liabilities, we have seen a progressive increase in the frequency and severity of claims against financial institutions in recent years.
Common types of claims that have arisen include: improper financial product sales, unsuitable financial advice and a diverse range of transactional errors. Increasingly, claims are also starting to arise from:
- Non-traditional exposures, such as breach of confidentiality and breach of copyright; and
- A new class of claimant, such as overseas visitors to financial institutions’ websites.
In a rapidly evolving financial institutions environment, we recognizes the need to take a more comprehensive approach towards your exposures, offering insurance that is tailored to your specific needs and which protects against still emerging threats. Chartis Financial Institutions Civil Liability Insurance is triggered by “any actual or alleged act, error or omission in the performance or failure to perform” the Professional Services that you provide.
