Insurance

In the insurance industry, it is crucial to comply with the LFD (the Act on Insurance Distribution) and IDD (Insurance Distribution Directive). A thorough background check is required both before and during employment to ensure that the employees meet high standards of personal integrity and rule compliance. We can help you comply with these legal requirements through tailored background checks.

Pre-employment background checks for insurance distribution

Insurance companies are obliged to carry out criminal record checks for new employees who will work in insurance distribution. This applies to both new hires and existing employee’s who come into contact with customers and handle insurance policies. To be even more sure that your candidate has the right education and work experience, we recommend adding reference checks and a verification of education and diplomas.

 

Background check during employment

Is it time for the annual follow-up check of employees? We can help you with that, too. By carrying out regular checks, you ensure that staff continue to fulfil the requirements to work in insurance distribution and that they do not have new charges on their record that could affect their suitability for the role.
