一、什么是保險經紀人
按照我國現行的《保險法》第一百一十八條規定:保險經紀人指基于投保人的利益,為投保人與保險人訂立保險合同提供中介服務,并依法收取傭金的機構,包括保險經紀公司及其(qi)分(fen)支機構。保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險經紀(ji)(ji)(ji)人(ren)(ren)(ren)必須具備一定的(de)保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險專業知識和技能,通(tong)曉保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險市場規則、構成和行情,為投保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)人(ren)(ren)(ren)設計保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險方案,代表投保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)人(ren)(ren)(ren)與保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險公(gong)司商議(yi)達成保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險協議(yi)。保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險經紀(ji)(ji)(ji)人(ren)(ren)(ren)不(bu)保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)證保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險公(gong)司的(de)償付能力,對給(gei)付賠款和退費也不(bu)負法律責任(ren),對保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險公(gong)司則負有(you)交付保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)費的(de)責任(ren)。因經紀(ji)(ji)(ji)人(ren)(ren)(ren)在(zai)辦理(li)保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險業務(wu)(wu)中的(de)過錯給(gei)投保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)人(ren)(ren)(ren)、被保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險人(ren)(ren)(ren)造(zao)成損失的(de),由保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險經紀(ji)(ji)(ji)人(ren)(ren)(ren)承擔(dan)賠償責任(ren),經紀(ji)(ji)(ji)人(ren)(ren)(ren)的(de)活動客(ke)觀上(shang)為保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險公(gong)司招攬了業務(wu)(wu),故其(qi)傭金由保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險公(gong)司按保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)費的(de)一定比例支付。
二、保險經紀人的主要作用
保(bao)(bao)險(xian)經紀人(ren)(ren)通過向投保(bao)(bao)人(ren)(ren)提供(gong)保(bao)(bao)險(xian)方案(an)、辦(ban)理(li)(li)投保(bao)(bao)手(shou)續(xu)、代投保(bao)(bao)人(ren)(ren)索賠并(bing)提供(gong)防(fang)災、防(fang)損或(huo)風險(xian)評估、風險(xian)管理(li)(li)等咨詢服務,使投保(bao)(bao)人(ren)(ren)充(chong)分認識到(dao)(dao)經營中(zhong)自身存在(zai)的(de)(de)(de)風險(xian),并(bing)參(can)考保(bao)(bao)險(xian)經紀人(ren)(ren)提供(gong)的(de)(de)(de)全面的(de)(de)(de)專(zhuan)業化的(de)(de)(de)保(bao)(bao)險(xian)建議,使投保(bao)(bao)人(ren)(ren)所存在(zai)的(de)(de)(de)風險(xian)得到(dao)(dao)有效的(de)(de)(de)控制和轉移,達(da)到(dao)(dao)以最合理(li)(li)的(de)(de)(de)保(bao)(bao)險(xian)支出獲得最大的(de)(de)(de)風險(xian)保(bao)(bao)障,降低和穩固了(le)經營中(zhong)的(de)(de)(de)風險(xian)管理(li)(li)成本(ben),保(bao)(bao)證了(le)企業的(de)(de)(de)健康(kang)發(fa)展。
另外,因為保險經紀人的業務最終還是要到保險公司進行投保,保險經紀公司業(ye)務(wu)量的(de)(de)增(zeng)(zeng)加會引起保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險(xian)(xian)公(gong)司整體業(ye)務(wu)量的(de)(de)增(zeng)(zeng)加,從而(er)降低(di)了(le)保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險(xian)(xian)公(gong)司的(de)(de)展(zhan)業(ye)費用;在保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險(xian)(xian)市(shi)場上(shang),保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險(xian)(xian)經紀(ji)人(ren)把保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險(xian)(xian)公(gong)司的(de)(de)再保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)份額順利的(de)(de)推銷出(chu)去,消(xiao)除(chu)了(le)保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險(xian)(xian)公(gong)司分保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)難的(de)(de)憂(you)慮,大(da)大(da)降低(di)了(le)保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險(xian)(xian)公(gong)司的(de)(de)經營風險(xian)(xian);而(er)且保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險(xian)(xian)經紀(ji)人(ren)代為辦理保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險(xian)(xian)事務(wu),減(jian)少了(le)被保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險(xian)(xian)人(ren)因不了(le)解保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險(xian)(xian)知識而(er)在索賠時給(gei)保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險(xian)(xian)人(ren)帶來的(de)(de)不必要的(de)(de)索賠糾紛,提高(gao)了(le)保(bao)(bao)(bao)(bao)險(xian)(xian)公(gong)司的(de)(de)經營效(xiao)率(lv)。
因此,保險(xian)經紀人的(de)產生(sheng)不管是對投保人還(huan)是對保險(xian)公司(si)都是有利的(de),她的(de)產生(sheng)是保險(xian)市場(chang)不斷完(wan)善的(de)結果。
