What does the brokerage contract (german: Maklervertrag) include and what is the authorization (Vollmacht) for?

The brokerage agreement governs the mutual rights and obligations of brokers and clients. In the brokerage contract u.a. the data protection, powers, tasks of the broker and also special agreements that can not be regulated by law. The brokerage contract forms the basis for the cooperation between the financial broker and the customer. The brokerage contract is supplemented by a broker authority. Above all, this should simplify cooperation between brokers and customers. The power of attorney, for example, allows us to represent you as a broker in relation to the insurance, to inspect insurance contracts or better to take care of your claim.

What types of consultants are there anyway?

As an independent finance broker, we are committed to our clients and can work with 98% of the companies. Unlike insurance agents or multiple agents, we recommend our product based on the services, service, claims processing or solvency of the insurer and a suitable price / Leistungsverhätätnis. Our status of independence can also be checked at any time in the intermediary register of the German Industrial and Commercial Day (DIHK) – www.vermittlerregister.info.

What exactly is the difference between insurance agents, multi agents and independent insurance brokers?

An insurance representative (bonded insurance agent) represents the interests of a single insurance company. In compliance with legal requirements, he is initially responsible only to the insurance company. He is their lobbyist.

A multi insurance agent (insurance agent) sells financial products from various vendors (typically only 5 to 10 vendors), with whom he has distribution agreements.

A broker (insurance broker, financial broker) is obliged by law to represent the interests of his clients. He is commissioned by the customer – usually after a sound risk analysis – to research and mediate a suitable risk protection or a special financial product at a reasonable price-performance ratio. Compared to the customer, the broker is in the special advisory liability, and is considered its „guardian“ (judgment of the Federal Court of Justice of 22.05.1985 Ref .: IVa ZR 190/83). Since May 22, 2007 (entry into force of the Insurance Mediation Ordinance), you must inform the intermediary of your status as part of the mandatory information so that you know who you are dealing with and what service and variety of products you can expect. Our information requirements can be found in the imprint.

What costs are incurred by the service of the financial broker?

Basically, you do not incur any direct costs. The remuneration (or brokerage fee) for the broker is included directly in the insurance premiums. This results in a particular advantage for the customers: because similar to e.g. a wholesaler, the broker has market power and can therefore negotiate more favorable terms with the respective insurance company. This will either benefit our customers with cheap insurance or improve the scope of an insurance solution.
