About this statute

This provision says the law covers insurance and reinsurance intermediaries, and that companies need authorization from Finanstilsynet to carry out insurance or reinsurance distribution. Virksomheden skal have ansvarsforsikring eller tilsvarende garanti, beskytte kunder mod formidlerens/genforsikringsformidlerens manglende betalingsevne og indsende bestemte oplysninger med ansøgningen om tilladelse. Finanstilsynet must decide authorization and registration applications within 3 months after receiving all necessary information, notify applicants immediately, and keep a public register. Companies must register before carrying out ancillary insurance intermediation, and certain insurance businesses may only use distribution services from authorized or registered intermediaries. Insurance intermediaries must report changes and annual turnover figures to Finanstilsynet, meet fit-and-proper and conduct rules, keep confidences, and run whistleblowing arrangements if they have more than five employees. Insurance intermediaries must notify Finanstilsynet before starting cross-border services or a branch abroad, and Finanstilsynet handles onward notice and supervision.
