Data Sharing Initiative

In terms of the Insurance Laws Amendment Act, insurers are required to hold sufficient data in order for them to be able to identify their policyholders. This is in contrast to the current situation where in many instances this data is held on intermediaries’ systems.

T he SAIA, together with the Financial Intermediaries Association (FIA), has engaged its members to establish whether an industry approach to this matter would be appropriate. Two work groups have been established, a technical workgroup looking at standards, and a business workgroup looking at system requirements.
