How free are we in the advice we provide?

Alicia will not provide advice on the insurance policies you choose and take out for yourself.

If we provide advice, it is good to know that we are completely free in the advice we provide, which means that we are not obliged to sell the financial products of specific financial institutions. There are no financial institutions, such as a bank or insurance company, which have an ownership interest or say in Alicia , so the information and advice we provide is based purely on your best interest.

We decide for ourselves which providers we will do business with. This is based on: the premium they propose, the quality of their terms and conditions, and how the institution deals with a claim following a loss. Every year we check to see whether the selection we have made is still the right one for us and for you. On request, we can share with you the providers with whom we work.

Our charges for advice and mediation

You pay for our services in a number of different ways:

We receive an ongoing commission from your insurance provider for the services we provide in relation to indemnity insurance.
We always carry out services in relation to complex and impactful products based on a fixed rate.
For our work as an authorized agent, we receive commission from the insurer.

We do not charge you any additional costs such as policy, extension or cancellation fees. We will only charge you debt collection fees if you have failed to pay the premium despite our reminders. If this situation occurs, we will notify you in advance.

Our internal remuneration policy

The remuneration of our employees consists largely of a fixed salary. These fixed salaries are in line with market practice. Employees might receive a bonus on top of their fixed salary as Stock Appreciation Rights. This bonus is never larger than 20% of the fixed yearly salary. Furthermore, at least 50% of the criteria that determine the level of the bonus are qualitative, non-financial criteria. Examples are customer satisfaction, exemplary conduct, compliance or overall high performance in areas such innovation or product development or any other areas which are not tied to financial targets at Alicia. We regularly give our employees appraisals and guide them towards honorable, reliable and customer-oriented conduct. Our remuneration policy is drawn up in line with statutory guidelines.

If you have a complaint

We promote your interests in the financial services field as effectively as possible, but even we can make mistakes, which is why you may have a complaint. In that case, we ask you to report this in the first instance to us. We have a complaints process for this purpose: a fixed procedure that ensures that your complaint is being handled properly, appropriately and smoothly.

We strive to resolve complaints within 3 business days of receipt. A business day is a day from Monday to Friday excluding holidays.

If we cannot resolve your complaint within 3 business days, we will take the following steps:
