When we receive relatively straightforward risks and all necessary information is included we can often turn those risks around within 24 to 48 hours. We will accept submissions in various formats (does not have to be on our app) and once we have quoted it is ready to bind.
Our liability market security includes some of the world's largest insurers. They carry financial strength ratings that are confirmed by A.M. Best and Fitch ratings agencies with A.M. Best at ‘A’ (excellent), and Fitch as ‘A+’ (strong). Standard & Poor’s rating is ‘A+’ (strong). This rating is applied to our insurers as a whole which represents over 80 syndicates.
The specific casualty syndicates that Chutter Underwriting Services uses have an arrangement in place for a local administrator who handles claims on behalf of insurers. Claims are reported and handled within Canada. This administrator has in-house claims handling authority on behalf of insurers. The administrator is based in Vancouver and in the event of a claim they would assign a local adjuster where the Insured is based to deal face to face on any claims to be adjusted. There is direct access to the administrator and contact information is provided with every policy and renewal issued.
