VDVM CODE OF CONDUCT – TRANSPARENCY GUIDELINES

Principle 1
The insurance broker’s choice is determined by the interests of his customer and not by his commercial self-interest.

Principle 2
Broker’s commission will remain the standard remuneration system for insurance brokers in Germany. Because of our Principle 1 it is not necessary to disclose commissions and their amounts automatically.

Principle 3
If an insurance broker has several sources of income, i.e. when the customer pays a fee to the broker, the latter has to disclose any other source of remuneration.

Principle 4
Any bonus or special payments based on results (for example profit participation) are critical and are not recommended by our association.
