Simple and Quick Claims Process:

  • Pays claims quickly (93% of IUA claimants receive a payment within 3 months).
  • Claims assessment start immediately - there is no time deductible (e.g. wait 48 hours for your first payment) so IUA can respond to smaller claims that have a meaningful impact on business operations.
  • Pays claims weekly where practical - matching cash flow patterns and reducing the likelihood of having to borrow.
  • Will be paid regardless of property claim (don't need to wait until property claim is finalised before being paid).
  • High touch claims service using specialised independent loss adjusters - reducing the risk of an unhappy client!
