Latest News > A broker is a reassuring presence!
The RCCAQ will be adding a page to its website in order to demystify the role of insurance brokers in consumers' eyes. In addition to explaining brokers' unique advisory skills, the website will include a questionnaire to test consumers' insurance knowledge.
"Brokers act as a safety net between consumers and insurance companies. The issue of online insurance sales could end up jeopardizing consumers' financial assets, so we thought it was important to provide Internet users with information that demystifies our work. Consumers need a clear explanation of the risks involved if they purchase insurance online without the involvement of a certified representative," said RCCAQ chair Christopher Johnson.
Internet users looking for insurance advice now have access to an online directory of brokers who are RCCAQ members. A webpage also allows them to find a broker close to where they live. In addition, consumers can access special content designed to shed light on insurance brokers' professional activities.
The webpage is available here.
