Exercer en tant que sous agent d'assurance FSMA guidance
The FSMA has repeatedly observed independent sub-agents conducting insurance distribution activities without prior registration in the insurance intermediaries register, which is prohibited. Insurance brokers and agents are also forbidden from engaging unregistered sub-agents or collaborating with unregistered intermediaries. This newsletter reiterates these obligations and clarifies related requirements, including registration procedures and the consequences of non-compliance.
