Group Travel Insurance

Banner Financial Services is one of the UK’s leading arrangers of group travel insurance to mission and aid workers, insuring personnel from over
480 organisations from the UK and worldwide since 1992.

Banner Financial Services customers are located around the world, often in high risk regions, where there is a need for poverty relief, aid and missionary work, healthcare, infrastructure development, conservation and environmental work, accreditation, training and education.

This experience and knowledge has enabled us to fine tune our group travel policies for organisations to help them manage and control risk at a time when there is massive uncertainty for international travellers from civil and political unrest, changes in terror tactics, health pandemics and climate change.

Our group policies are constructed to help an
organisation provide a duty of care to their travellers.

The Technical Bit

Group policy features can include:

• Low levels of policy administration giving the organisation more time to focus on their own goals and objectives.  Including common renewal dates and simplicity of medical screening.
• Multiple categories of insured persons including trustees, volunteers, contractors, consultants and employees and their families.
• Flexibility of operative times including incidental holiday and onward travel.
• Covering virtually all nationalities and countries of travel.
• Dovetailing cover and benefit levels to fit with any other protection products already in existence such as Life, Personal Accident, Kidnap and Ransom and Private Medical Insurance.  Helping to ensure cover isn’t paid for twice.
• Extension of cover for returning UK personnel to ensure no gap in cover under the governments ordinary residency rules implemented within the NHS.
• Ability to dial up and down benefits and excesses to manage risk and contain premiums which in turn helps the organisation manage funds.
• We recognise organisations own due diligence such as local networks and security arrangements in hotspot areas and hardship posts and that it doesn’t have to involve armed guards.
• Banner Financial Services is an official partner of the Know Before You Go campaign.

Testimonial

“I have used Banner to provide travel, trustee and office insurance at the last three organisations that I have worked with. They have proven to be extremely reliable, cost effective and efficient – both in terms of managing the full insurance portfolio but also dealing with any claims that have had to be made. I would recommend them without any hesitation whatsoever and it has certainly been helpful having one point of contact for all of our insurance”.
