Brit Group Holdings Ltd. announced the launch of “FI Cyber Max,” a new integrated cyber and financial institutions (FI) consortium.
Built for large, complex financial clients, the new consortium will bring together Brit’s experienced cyber and FI underwriting t
eams to simplify placements and reduce friction where multiple lines and
limits sit across fragmented programs, the London-based insurer said.
The new consortium will offer up to US$20 million of lead capacity and will
deliver certainty of cover across cyber, professional indemnity, directors & officers liability, and crime.
“FI Cyber Max” policyholders will also have access to Brit’s claims and
risk management services as part of the offering, ensuring consistency, speed and certainty when the need arises.
“Financial institutions face a complex risk landscape due to the type of
transactions they facilitate and data they hold,” commented Patrick
Mitchell, class underwriter in a statement. “FI Cyber Max will help simplify t
he placement process for these organisations, allowing us to reduce fragmentation and deliver coverage needed across multiple lines.”

prehensive coverage across interrelated risks,” according to Adam Taylor, class underwriter, Cyber, Privacy and Technology.
“The launch of FI Cyber Max enables us to offer a flexible deployment solution across multiple lines at scale. As the cyber risk landscape continues to evolve, we’re delighted to be
able to bring another consortium to the market which enables us to solve a critical need for financial institutions,” Taylor added.
