It’s been just over two months since the biggest pricing shakeup for some time in the insurance space, initial indications are showing that new business prices have risen in 2022.
Confirming many expectations that a ban on introductory offers and price walking would see new business premiums rise. This should not come as a surprise or cause concern that the policy is not working, as the FCA itself predicted “new business prices may rise for some customers, particularly those who shop around.”
While insurance companies align with the new regulations over the coming months, more fluctuations are expected as the industry works to become compliant and find its place in the new competitive landscape.
The average R1-5 new premium quoted for new customers in motor insurance rose by 5.7%, representing the single biggest monthly changes on record.
For insurance claims and underwriting teams striving to meet the regulations, being able to identify the risk and price for claims fairly while supporting the new FCA rules as well as maintaining and earning customer trust has proven difficult. But not impossible as demonstrated by Cazoo Data Services.
