Pregunta
How does the Claim-free Bonus work?
Respuesta
Insurance policy owners with the same insurance type form small groups. A part of their premiums is paid into a cashback pool. If no claims are submitted, the members of the group get some of their money back at the end of the year. In case of claims, the cashback decreases for everyone in the group.

Pregunta 14
Pregunta
What does the Deductible Principle have to do with the Claim-Free bonus?
Respuesta
To get a Claim-Free bonus, you sign an additional deductible agreement with Friendsurance
There is not correlation between a deductible and the Claim-Free Bonus
To enable that insurance holders can get a cash back if they are claim free, Friendsurance has to do a change in the insurance contract to a contract with a deductible (Selbstbeteiligung). This alternation means that the yearly insurance fee goes down. The difference between the old fee and the new fee goes into the groups shared pot.
Pregunta 15
Pregunta
Why can customers also enter insurance types like “pet insurance”?
Respuesta
Because we like to get all the personal data from the customer that we can get
So that they can get a cashback also for these types
This allows customers to get an overview which insurances they have and allows us to help the customer to get the insurances they really need.
