What is Insurance Score?

Posted on: 05th Aug, 2009 08:35 pm
I know about the credit score, but what is term insurance score?
Insurance score is a numerical ranking which helps in determining the financial status of the person insured. This score helps in determining the risk and the insurance companies can charge premiums based on that risk. It also represents the chance of a client filing an insurance claim during his/her coverage.

Hi credithungry,

Insurance scores are not widely used and most insurers check the credit scores before giving insurance. There are certain insurance companies which use different models to calculate your insurance score, and this may vary significantly. Some of the factors which can be used to decide your insurance score may include your claim history, your payment history, how frequently you have switched your insurer or whether or not you were uninsured for a period of time.

Thanks
