AXA Insurance helps form new insurance fraud body

A new body has been formed to provide a workable framework which will help protect insurance providers from the costly problem of fraudulent activity.

The Insurance Fraud Bureau (IFB) has been created through collaboration between insurers - AXA Insurance has taken a leading role in its formation since the initiative began two years ago.

Fraud costs the insurance industry around £1.5 billion a year and the IFB will work with the government and the police to prevent organised crime from stealing money which results in increasing premiums for policy holders.

Richard Davies is fraud risk manager at AXA Insurance and deputy chairman of the IFB, he said today: "What the IFB will do is to use very sophisticated analytics over the databases shared between insurers and it will pinpoint those issues which affect more than one insurer and those issues which are indicative of being organised crimes."

"[The IFB will] work together to solve the problem much more efficiently and much more quickly, with a much greater chance of success."

AXA offers customers a range of business, travel, home and motor insurance.
