Insurance Brokers Association of Saskatchewan
The Insurance Brokers’ Association of Saskatchewan (IBAS) is a voluntary organization that represents professional Independent Insurance Brokers.
To promote and preserve Saskatchewan’s independent insurance brokerage system, the IBAS communicates with government, the insurance industry, and the public. In addition to the Association’s mission to be the voice of independent insurance professionals and the insurance brokerage system, the IBAS also strives to ensure that consumers enjoy independent advice and freedom of choice – factors that are to the betterment of members, consumers, and the industry.
Member Education and Training
In addition to the Association’s mission to represent independent insurance brokers in Saskatchewan, the IBAS ensures that its members, who include 380 insurance brokerage offices and over 2000 individuals located throughout the province, receive consistent updates on IBAS industry efforts, professional development opportunities, and other tangible benefits. In its efforts to promote the long-term growth of the insurance brokerage system and its members, the IBAS promotes values that include advocacy, professionalism in customer service, consumer choice, member support, and brokerage system development.
Association Ethics and Standards
In addition to its efforts to develop and uphold the insurance brokerage system and its members, the IBAS also works to ensure that all consumers receive professional service that upholds appropriate standards of ethics and privacy.
The IBAS’ Commitment to Privacy describes how consumer confidentiality and protection is a fundamental part of the Association’s operations. The IBAS advocates its 10 Principles of Privacy, a list of 10 principles that are designed to protect the consumer and include: accountability, clear communication, client consent, fair and lawful information collection, accuracy, and client information safeguards.
