Data Controls and Metrics in Asia Pacific - 1 views

  •  
    Developed countries from the West are not the only ones who are upgrading their systems against insurance theft. With the widespread of technology and the integration of new knowledge and computer geniuses, even those living in the suburbs of Africa now has their own system to secure their data and confidential information. Axis Capital, with group of insurance and reinsurance companies in Bermuda, Australia, United Kingdom, Singapore and in over ten states in the US, is one of the many companies reported to first integrate a more tighter security system in the start of 2015 in the Asia-Pacific. Data theft and fraud are fast becoming key issues for regulators and law enforcement across Asia-Pacific, as elsewhere. Insurers are paying close attention to the new data privacy rules being drafted in response to the increased risks. According to reviews, regional and global insurers with operations in the Asia Pacific region also are grappling with the issue of data sovereignty - which can be transmitted among jurisdictions - as the data privacy regulations vary across the region. More stringent data protection rules in Australia and Singapore also may create questions about the identity of countries in which insurers store their data. A subpoena issued by a government to an insurer to provide certain data requires knowledge of where it has been physically stored. Insurers also will need to identify new metrics and processes to monitor data security and compliance. Many insurers in the region will continue to enhance their data controls in the latter part of 2015, prompted primarily by new and stricter regulations. Asia-Pacific insurers must pay closer attention to the changing cyber security laws and focus more stringently on data security, network crime legislation and law enforcement. Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act, for example, includes rules on the collection, use, disclosure and care of personal data. The law establishes penalt

Specialty Insurance - 1 views

  •  
    With much insurance existing in the market nowadays, you cannot be blamed if you get confused. Homeowner's insurance, automobile and life insurance to name a few but there are also specialty insurance policies that some customers may find useful. Let Axis Capital Group of insurance and reinsurance companies scattered around the world from our main base in Bermuda to Australia, Europe, America and Singapore explain further what this specific insurance is.
    In simple terms, specialty insurance is exactly what it sounds like. It is insurance that is purchased for items that are special or unique. It is also used to provide protection for items that might otherwise be protected under another policy but are not protected because of some unusual aspect. For example, a diamond necklace might be protected under the home owner's insurance policy but what if the necklace is with you while you are traveling and it is stolen or broken? A specialty insurance policy on the necklace (and only on the necklace) can provide the protection that you need for that item no matter where you are.

AD&D vs. Accident Insurance - 1 views

  •  
    As we always point out in Axis Capital Group, accidents can always happen when you least expect it but you can always be prepared. No use filing in complaints when you have already come prepared. The first thing that comes to mind when we think about accidents and how to prepare for them is by getting an insurance for that special need. If you ever think of the necessity to get protection in case of injury, different coverage comes into picture. Questions have risen about Accident Insurance and one of its counterpart, Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance or AD&D. How it Works? Accident insurance will pay a benefit for a wide variety of covered injuries that may or may not be serious over the long term. If you experience a covered accident, you could receive a cash benefit, according to a benefits schedule. Also, you could receive a cash benefit for emergency room visits. The amount you receive depends on your injury and related treatment. On the other hand, AD&D insurance provides a payment to your beneficiary if you die in a covered accident or a payment to you if the accident results in a covered loss that cause a permanent impairment. Depending on your plan, you may be able to sign up for an amount of coverage based on your salary-for example, two times your salary-or choose a set dollar amount. AD&D insurance is often offered with life insurance at an amount that is equal to the life insurance benefit. Only voluntary, AD&D insurance allows independent election of coverage. What is covered? The following are examples of covered injuries for Accident Insurance: Fracture Dislocation Eye injury Gunshot wound Paralysis Brain injury Burn Coma Concussion Death Dismemberment The following are examples of covered losses: Death Quadriplegia Loss of sight in at least one eye Loss of speech Loss of hearing Loss of limb Loss of thumb or

Insurance Scams That Needs To Be Avoided - 1 views

  •  
    In order to gain more money in the now so-materialized world, people and companies have thought of things to gain out of greed. Insurance agencies are no exceptions especially in places which have lose insurance policies like Jakarta in Indonesia, South Africa and Cambodia. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had released the most common insurance fraud used by the insurance companies. Premium Diversions It is considered as an embezzlement of insurance premiums and is considered the most common type. This happens when the insurance agent doesn't wire the money to the insurance company and keeps it to himself. Other form of premium diversion scam involves selling policies without license, collecting premiums and then not paying claims. Payers are advised to keep track of this kind of fraud by knowing and verifying the legitimacy of the agent. Asset Diversion This large-scale scheme involves theft of insurance company assets held to pay valid claims. This most frequently occurs as insurance companies merge, reorganize or change ownership. Fee Churning In this scheme, a group of people set up a company that will eventually fail. The business gets involved in reinsurance agreements, and people in different steps of the process pocket commissions. The amount of a premium is cut by each repeated commission until the money to pay claims runs out. This scheme lasts as long as it does because each individual move looks normal as it occurs. The full picture emerges only after the damage is already done. How to report Insurance Fraud 1. Report fraudulent behavior to your state's insurance frauds bureau. 2. Contact the specific insurance company's fraud hotline if one is available. 3. Turn in the social security fraud perpetrators. 4. When you are reporting the scheme, make sure to give all pertinent details and any other documents that may help. Be Wise. Act Wise. The most important factor before buyi

Are You Over or Under Insured? - 1 views

  •  
    Jakarta, Indonesia - Choosing the right insurance coverage isn't easy. If you are under-insured, you could be left with unpaid claims. Sometimes, it doesn't make sense to insure the contents of your home for much less than they are worth, you could be paying for more coverage types than you need. The key is in knowing what's covered and what's not. Account for any recent remodels and look to see if your current coverage keeps pace with inflation.Axis Capital, a group of insurers and reinsurers with the main location in Bermuda and with international branch in UK, US, Singapore and Australia has listed some steps for you to know if you are under or over insured. What you need is coverage that's just right. Here's how to get it, and it shouldn't take more than 4 or 5 hours of your time spent reviewing your homeowner's insurance policy, talking to your agent, and doing a little research. Step 1 Pull out your policy before the annual renewal date. Check for coverage limits, exclusions and restrictions. Always remember that all homeowners insurance isn't created equal. That's why it pays to review your coverage every year to ensure your policy meets your evolving needs. Begin by understanding the types of coverage available. Step 2 Estimate the value of your home's contents. Unless you do a complete inventory of your household furnishings and personal possessions, the things you own could be worth a lot more than you think. Replacement cost coverage is more expensive but usually insures your personal property for what it costs to buy new. Step 3 If you have recently remodeled your house, you should increase your coverage. It is a general rule of thumb to increase coverage once you have completely remodeled project that cost more than at least 5% of

Unemployment Insurance Eligibility - 1 views

  •  
    We sometimes find ourselves unemployed for some reason. It may either be we want to explore another field of our expertise or for untoward accidents like health issues. Axis Capital, with a group of insurance and reinsurance companies scattered around the world from its main base in Bermuda to Singapore, Australia, United Kingdom and more than 10 states in the United States, emphasizes the importance of getting unemployment insurance during the times of strict financial needs and jobless days. The question is, are you qualified enough to take advantage of UI?
    Depending on the law in each city, UI is often given for 3-6 months of unemployment. In developing cities like Jakarta, Indonesia, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the insurance can last until a year provided that the reason is valid. It is best to review the stated respective decree in your location to avail the said insurance. An individual must meet all unemployment insurance (UI) eligibility requirements in order to receive benefit payments. Eligibility requirements must be met when a UI claim is filed and whenever a certification is submitted before benefits can be paid by the Employment Development Department (EDD).
    An individual who files for UI benefits must meet specific eligibility requirements before benefits can be paid. Individuals must:
    * Have received enough wages during the base period to establish a claim.* * Be totally or partially unemployed. * Be unemployed through no fault of his/her own. This includes no record of complaints, termination or negative records. * Be physically able to work. * Be available for work. * Be ready and willing to immediately accept work. * Be actively looking for work. * Be approved for training before training benefits can be paid.
    Employers report wages to the EDD for each employee. The EDD uses this information to decide if an individual earned enough wages
