Why do I need banking and finance insurance?

Clients trust you with significant sums of money and critical deadlines. Yet you can never rule out human errors, technology malfunctions, and natural events. Therefore, the right insurance can protect your business from these consequences. Like all freelancers, contractors in the banking and financial services sector require the right business insurance. Working for yourself brings more freedom and flexibility, but the downside is greater vulnerability if something goes wrong.

Frequently asked questions

So, you have some questions. We might have already answered them below.
  • How do I make a claim?

    If you ever need to make a claim on your policy, don’t hesitate to contact our expert team on 01242 808740 who will be able to assist.

  • What is IR35?

    The off-payroll legislation, often referred to as IR35, is a UK tax legislation that aims to detect ‘disguised employees’ who are for all intents and purposes employees, however rather than being on payroll they are registered as limited companies, to avoid higher tax rates

  • What documents will I receive?

    You will be emailed a policy schedule, policy wording and employers’ liability certificate immediately after you purchase. The schedule confirms the levels of cover and can be used by you to confirm your cover arrangements to agencies, recruiters and clients.

  • Why do I need Employers' Liability if I do not employ anyone?

    In addition to the fact that Employers’ Liability may be a legal requirement for you to hold, most clients will include this insurance as a standard contractual obligation so cover has been included to help comply with these requirements. The Kingsbridge package of insurance will also cover you if you employ a spouse or close family member in an administrative or clerical role.

  • Can I still have cover if I work abroad?

    As long as you maintain your UK residency and your company is UK registered then the policy covers you worldwide, with the exception of the USA or Canada. This can be added as an additional bolt-on.
