IBC Memberships, Services and Members - Insurer/Reinsurer

Service options for members:

IBC offers two services:

1. IBC Membership (IM); and
2. Vehicle Information Services (VIS)
   

IBC MEMBERSHIP (IM)

Insurers with access to this service have a role in helping to set the strategic direction of IBC and its policy initiatives. The participation of IM members in IBC initiatives and committees/advisory groups also helps to strengthen and refine the communication between insurance companies and the public, government, news media, and other industry associations. These members are also granted exclusive access to timely, relevant materials through IBC’s secure member site, which includes: 

• IBC Advisory Policy Wordings 
  
• Legal and Underwriting Bulletins
  
• Breaking News and Industry Newsletters 
• Position papers and research reports
  
• Submissions to government.
  

VEHICLE INFORMATION SERVICES (VIS)

VIS is an additional service that can be paired with IM services. VIS subscribers have access to an extensive database containing up-to-date information related to a variety of private passenger vehicles.  

VIS data is used in exclusive IBC products and paired with insurance claim and premium data to produce the Canadian Loss Experience Automobile Rating for subscribers.
