Delegation in P&C Insurance: Your Strategy to Become a High-Performing Delegated Broker

Delegation in P&C insurance is one of the sector’s most fundamental challenges. It represents a major transformation for non-delegated brokers seeking to improve commercial performance and deepen their technical expertise. Far beyond simple sales or distribution, delegation is a strategic lever that commits the broker to delivering high-quality services while managing the operational complexity of insurance contracts. It is a key driver for optimizing contract management and customer relationships in insurance.

This pursuit of operational excellence requires expert support to succeed in an increasingly competitive insurance market.

This article is aimed at professionals interested in obtaining a delegation of authority. We review the key criteria required to secure such a delegation and explain how a technology solution like Korint can accelerate this transformation and ensure long-term success.

What Is Delegation in Insurance and Why Should Brokers Pursue It?

Delegation in insurance consists of an insurer (the delegator) entrusting a delegated manager (the broker) with managing part or all of its operational processes related to contracts and policyholders. It is a relationship built on trust and offers brokers a decisive competitive advantage.

The delegated broker becomes a key partner in insurance operations, evolving into a full-service provider. This operational scope is the natural next step for any organization seeking excellence and aiming to outsource low value-added tasks.

Delegated responsibilities cover a wide range of insurance contract activities:

Underwriting

Underwriting is the entry point to the contractual relationship. It requires strict administrative accuracy and a seamless customer experience. Korint ensures end-to-end underwriting management, guaranteeing document compliance and fast, transparent onboarding.

Policy Administration

This includes the full administrative and technical lifecycle of a policy (endorsements, changes, cancellations, renewals). Efficient policy management is essential for customer retention and data integrity. Korint enables full policy lifecycle management, ensuring regulatory compliance without increasing operational or insurer risk. Particular emphasis is placed on data quality.

Payments & Collections

Premium collection and payment processing require secure, transparent mechanisms to preserve financial balance and policyholder trust. Korint integrates secure payment flows, optimizes premium collection, and provides full financial traceability through custom reporting.

Claims Management

This is the moment of truth for policyholders. Claims handling must combine expertise, speed, and strict fraud control. Leveraging deep insurance know-how, Korint manages the entire claims lifecycle—from first notification to settlement—while integrating robust anti-fraud controls.

Obtaining a delegation of authority enables brokers to create significant added value and strengthen customer relationships. By mastering the full insurance value chain, delegated brokers deliver a superior customer experience while improving internal efficiency and portfolio performance. This control of the value chain is central to long-term broker strategy and market positioning.

Key Criteria Insurers Require to Grant a Delegation of Authority

Insurers assess future delegated partners with extreme rigor. The decision is based on the broker’s ability to assume responsibility for contract and customer management while securing insurer operations and mitigating risk. Experience remains a decisive factor.

Core evaluation criteria include:

Insurance Expertise & Line of Business

Brokers must demonstrate deep expertise in the relevant insurance segment. Certified specialists are often required to validate this expertise.

Technology & Operational Capability

Delegation requires robust, scalable digital tools for policy monitoring and customer data access. Modern organization, reliable IT infrastructure, and high-performance management software—often provided by specialized technology partners—are mandatory.

Service Quality & Control

Delegated brokers must present streamlined processes, strong internal controls, and proven customer satisfaction. Service quality directly impacts the insurer’s brand image.

Regulatory Compliance & Risk Management

Absolute compliance with regulatory frameworks (data protection, fraud prevention) is non-negotiable. Transparent risk governance is essential to insurer confidence and long-term partnership success.

Ongoing performance monitoring is also critical. Insurers expect measurable objectives, continuous reporting, and seamless communication between delegator and delegatee.
