London, May 26


Insurers are challenged to differentiate their services by delivering exceptional customer service with increasing speed. CRIF understands that access to information drives the ability to accurately price risks, appropriately resolve claims and dynamically prevent fraud. The company has built long term, trusted partnerships with its customers, continually innovating by understanding and anticipating the market’s needs; enabling customers to equip themselves with the right information to support profitable business retention and growth.

CRIF’s Total Lifecycle Solutions product suite supports insurers throughout the insurance lifecycle from the point of quote and sales to fraud investigation and claims management. The company continually invests in R&D to be at the cutting edge of market developments, permanently agile and highly responsive. Leading UK insurers have been vocal about the benefits they derive from working with CRIF.

Glen Marr, Claims and Counter Fraud Director at 1ST CENTRAL Insurance Management Ltd said: “1ST CENTRAL has been working closely with CRIF for some time. The support and services they provide have featured as one part in the development and deployment of our market leading and award winning counter- fraud defences and have helped us to become firmly established as a successful challenger brand in the private motor insurance market.”

CRIF provides key insurance products along with a service which is built on a close and personal relationship with their clients.
