Could embedded insurance result in mis-selling?


Listen Later

​In the latest Insurance Post Podcast, Sicsic, managing partner of Sicsic Advisory, said embedded insurance has been around for a long time with travel and white good, but technology has widened the range of types of cover that can be sold in this way.


However, he flagged that, with this type of cover, checks need to be made so consumers understand what they have purchased.


Sicsic said: “Do people really understand that they are purchasing an insurance product, and does it meet their needs?


Double cover

“The classic issue we have seen over the years is having double cover. You are purchasing a new policy, but have it already covered in your main policy. I would call it mis-purchase. You mis-buy by not exactly understanding the cover you are getting, and then get a bad surprise at the point of claim.”


Sicsic is joined on the podcast by Matthew Connell, director of policy and public affairs at the Chartered Insurance Institute, who outlines the pros and cons of embedded insurance, and the steps to take to make sure seamless selling doesn't result in consumers sleepwalking into the wrong cover.
