New technologies in life insurance
New technologies in life insurance The insurance market is becoming increasingly digital. More and more insurance products are being sold online, remote claims settlement services are being developed, and new insurance products are being offered. Against this backdrop, the life insurance segment stands out somewhat, driven by savings and investment insurance products. Obviously, these are not the types of insurance that can be successfully marketed remotely through online channels due to individual customer requirements and the need for professional advice from the insurer.

Complaints of car owners against insurers and what MTIBU does
Why car owners complain about insurers and what MTIBU does How well do MTPL insurers fulfill their obligations, to whom can you complain about them, and will these complaints make a difference? These are the questions that car owners face when choosing an insurer and in case of problems with payments. Volodymyr Shevchenko, Director General of MTIBU, helped us to understand these topics.

How much are overpaying for policies?
Generosity of insurers: how much do people overpay for policies? Services for the sale of policies to insurers themselves cost 241.4 billion rubles in the first nine months of 2019. Banks earned more than others, whose commissions reached 150.5 billion rubles - the same amount as for the whole of 2018. And they were ultimately paid by insurance buyers. Consumers have a choice: they can buy a policy in the office of the insurer, on its website, from an agent or from a bank. The only difference is the price, which is made up of the basic cost of the policy and the commission of the agent selling it. It is higher with banks. For example, an accident policy with a payout in case of death of the insured of 750 thousand rubles can be bought from the insurer for 3.9 thousand rubles, while in the bank it will cost 4.9 thousand rubles. Nevertheless, Russians often buy insurance in banks. First, because banks are trusted by 88% of the population, while insurance companies are trusted by only...
