The Financial Intermediary & Broker Association (FIBA) has launched a range of benefits that members are now able to access online.

The trade body’s Member Benefits package is designed to provide ‘holistic support’ in all areas relevant to a broker’s business life.

Among the benefits is exclusive business premises insurance and discounted intelligent reporting software, as well as access to client verification platform, SmartSearch.

GDPR has its own section to help advisers tackle the recent regulatory changes and keep themselves informed during the early days of implementation and beyond.

A dedicated Lender Partners directory makes finding FIBA-accredited funders easy.

Adam Tyler (pictured), executive chairman of FIBA, said: “From our launch I made it our intention that at FIBA, our aim was to support finance professionals within the UK, enabling them to deliver the right solutions and service to their clients, whilst meeting their regulatory obligations.

“We proudly hold this as our mission statement and the way we achieve this is by supporting our Members with the right benefits for their businesses. In addition, we wanted to provide access to a comprehensive network of lenders, detailed product knowledge, industry expert advice and dedicated compliance resources backed by relevant training, guidance and assistance.

“We have just launched our FIBA Member Benefits area on the website, which is packed full of important support and information for both the business and personal development of our members. Our benefits package will continue to evolve throughout the year with new enhancements being added all the time.

“Whether advisers are experienced finance practitioners or coming to business finance for the first time, these services and benefits offer tremendous value when put against the membership fee and will also significantly help to boost productivity and professionalism.”
