FAConnect® 

Fac Quotes and Binding in Less than 5 Minutes

Many insurance companies have traditionally found small to middle-market or facility-type facultative business to be inefficient, time consuming and costly. Now more than ever, carriers are looking to grow their business without exposing underwriting results to excessive volatility from individual policy coverages.

As the world's leading facultative broker, Aon Benfield Fac empowers facultative reinsurance by providing alternative coverage options to help clients accomplish these objectives.

By delivering the broker marketplace to your desktop, you will benefit from easy access, choice, flexibility, and reduction of execution risk.

FAConnect provides a secure environment for ceding company underwriters, brokers and reinsurance underwriters to interact on-line. Ceding company underwriters can submit, quote, and bind individual accounts as part of pre-negotiated facilities.  Reinsurance underwriters can review accounts, access bordereaux, and manage reports for all such facilities.

Best of all, FAConnect is available to Aon Benfield clients and markets at no cost.
