Local facts
Insurance brokers: what's particular to Zurich
FINMA keeps a public register of insurance intermediaries, searchable by person or company with at least three characters (FINMA register, checked ). Intermediaries who work on an untied basis, with a fiduciary relationship to their clients, must be entered before they may offer or conclude insurance contracts in Switzerland (FINMA register, checked ) (FINMA, checked ). Tied intermediaries, who are bound to one insurer, are in principle no longer listed, with an exception for those who need an entry to operate abroad (FINMA, checked ) (FINMA register, checked ).
Since 1 January 2024 all intermediaries need professional indemnity insurance or an equivalent financial surety and have to give clients specified information before a contract is concluded; untied intermediaries also disclose the compensation they receive from insurers and third parties (FINMA, checked ). Minimum training standards apply from 1 October 2024, with a qualifying examination and an online recertification check offered every two years (FINMA, checked ).
Disputes with a private insurer can go to the Ombudsman of Private Insurance and of Suva. Its service is free and covers complaints backed by written evidence; it gives no general insurance or legal advice, and health insurance matters, basic and supplementary, lie outside its scope (Insurance ombudsman, checked ).
