Frequently asked questions about partnering with Union Swiss Brokers Holding AG
Who is the partnership suitable for?
The partnership is aimed at independent brokers and co-brokers who want to benefit from a strong network, digital tools and additional support. A separate form of cooperation is available for insurance intermediaries who place individual policies.
What is the difference between the partnership for brokers and the cooperation for insurance intermediaries?
As a broker partner, you keep your independence and benefit on an ongoing basis from our network, digital tools and support. The cooperation for insurance intermediaries is aimed at individuals and companies that only occasionally want to take out an insurance product with a Swiss insurer for their clients, without having a direct connection themselves. In this case, we act as your contractual contact, with no further obligations and no long-term partnership.
Do I remain independent as a broker?
Yes. You continue to manage your client base on your own and decide for yourself which insurers and partners you work with.
Do I have to give up my existing company or change its name?
No. The partnership is independent of your existing company structure.
Which digital tools will I have access to as a broker partner?
You will have access to WMC BrokerStar (client management), SOBRADO (quotation and tendering platform), EcoHub (process and document management), Logismata (pension and retirement analysis) and Info4Insider (pension comparisons and analysis tools). In addition, SOTHURA SAFE supports you in analysing insurance and pension solutions as well as in structured documentation and advisory processes. Professional assessment and the preparation of quotes remain your responsibility.
What marketing and training support will I receive?
You will receive support with your brand presence, website, campaigns and lead generation (including HubSpot), for example through co-branding with a professional one-page website, business cards, flyers and printed materials, and professional photos for your brand presence. You decide which of these services you want to use. You also benefit from regular training and personal support on an equal footing.
Which insurers does Union Swiss Brokers work with?
We work with a broad network of insurance and pension partners in Switzerland, including long-standing partnerships with the market leaders. As a partner, you also benefit from exclusive framework agreements. You can find all our contractual partners on our overview page.
What requirements do I have to meet?
As an independent insurance broker in Switzerland, you must hold a valid FINMA registration. It is the basic requirement for a broker partnership. Any further requirements depend on the type of partnership you are looking for. The best way to discuss this is in a no-obligation initial meeting.
What terms and conditions apply?
The terms depend on the partnership model you choose and the services you want to use. We will discuss them with you in the initial meeting.
Can I explore the partnership without obligation?
Yes. We would be happy to discuss your situation in a no-obligation initial meeting with Eddy Behrendt, member of the executive management. You can book the appointment directly online. In the meeting, we will clarify the next steps and agree together which of the optional marketing services you would like to use and which not.
