What is Insurer Membership?

This membership category is for those companies directly impacted by insurance fraud, and through our collaborative efforts these members form an invaluable part of the fight against fraud.

Our Insurer Membership is suitable if you*:

• Are impacted by insurance fraud
• Underwrite insurance products in UK
• Sell insurance to businesses or consumers directly (including Managing General Agents)

Membership is available across different insurance product lines, and since our decision to broaden our membership, our members include insurers that offer motor, life, travel, pet, health, liability, and marine policies to name a few.

How do insurers benefit from IFB membership?

Our Insurer Members benefit from different levels of intelligence and alerts, ensuring they can make informed decisions quickly. This includes access to confirmed fraud data stored on the Insurance Fraud Register (IFR), and data on suspect fraud on the IFiHUB.

Stand Together against fraud

As a Specified Anti-Fraud Organisation, we have strategic partnerships with government agencies and regulatory bodies which is why our members see us as a trusted partner. By helping the wider insurance industry share data directly with law enforcement agencies, we provide them with critical insights into fraud trends and an enhanced understanding of the scale of fraud issues.

These partnerships are critical in disrupting fraudulent activity and securing criminal convictions. By tackling fraud in a joined-up way we can achieve our common goal of protecting customers and reducing costs associated with fraud.

Reimagine data and intelligence

Through our collaborative efforts, Insurer Members form an invaluable part of the fight against fraud. Data reciprocity is key for sharing fraud intelligence with us and receiving industry data in return, enabling us to put a stop to fraudsters early on and limiting your exposure.

We provide different levels of intelligence and alerts, ensuring you can make informed decisions quickly. This includes access to:

• Confirmed fraud data stored on the IFR containing over 21,000 confirmed fraudsters records
• Data on suspect fraud on the IFiHUB with over a ¼ million suspect entities

Resulting in nearly 200k searches and over 1,500 downloads from our databases. Together, these tools provide a powerful advantage in fighting fraud.

Build Knowledge and Trust

Members also benefit from the societal impact we have, knowing that every action we take aims to reduce insurance fraud, which protects the public and keeps costs down. By raising awareness of scams and educating about the consequences of committing fraud, we help maintain public trust.

Playing a vital role in this is our CheatLine reporting tool, which gives people a safe and anonymous way to report insurance fraud concerns. Every year, CheatLine receives over 5,000 reports from the public, with nearly 70% resulting in actionable intelligence.

In addition, we:

• Facilitate operational working and intelligence groups to identify fraud threats
• Organise forums, workshops and roundtables on specific fraud types
• Host members only events
• Provide networking opportunities with likeminded fraud experts
