On a slightly more serious note, 94 per cent of brokers reported insurance broking to be tougher now than it was 5 years ago. If they had the chance, this is what they would most like to consign to history’s trashcan:

• 63 per cent would reduce the burden of regulatory compliance
• 38 per cent would bin the endless reams of paperwork
• 28 per cent would eliminate competition from other sources

We also gave brokers an imaginary magic wand. Here are the positive changes they would bring to modern insurance broking:

• 43 per cent would raise broker salaries
• 34 per cent would renew faith in the role of the broker
• 15 per cent would shorten working hours

Sadly, RBS Finsure doesn’t have any such magic wand.

We can, however, offer greater opportunities for earning, boosting broker profits.

By offering customer finance from a well-known and trusted brand, we can enhance brokers’ product portfolio while cutting admin time through our electronic trading solutions.

We hope that you enjoyed our little book, and if you have any comments or thoughts on the points it raised, we’d be delighted to hear them.
