Accident & Health - Affinity Personal Accident

What is the purpose of this product?

This product offers commercial entities where there is not an employee/employer relationship, the capacity to provide an insurance benefit in the event of a member / insured person suffering an accident that causes death or disablement.

Additional benefits enhance the offering and provide financial support and assistance services in the event of a claim. It allows our clients to provide cover and meet their duty of care needs to their members, either on a mandatory or opt-in basis.

Suitable for member or committee associations and recruitment companies as the wording refers to an individual rather than a corporate entity.

The benefits on offer are for accidents that cause bodily injury leading to the member's death or disablement.

What is the target market?

Commercial entities (employers, mutual or affinity organisations) that have an interest in giving their 'members' some financial benefit in the event they suffer an accident whilst working with or taking part in activities arranged by them.

The target market made up of organisations that have a need for personal accident insurance for individuals who may subscribe to their services as a member, such as a sports organisation or a motor club. Therefore, they have some duty of care to provide cover, even if only to enhance the membership benefits.

The target market is wide, and we will consider most activities and trades.

What is the non-target market?

Corporate clients looking to cover employees that would more suitably be covered by a commercial personal accident product.
