Insurance, insurance company, brokers, insurance insurers, here are so many names that Togolese listen to every day but still do not understand their roles. For the most part, they are just “liars” or “thieves”. To make things clear, the Togolese Federation of Insurance Insurers (FETAC) takes its responsibilities. It organized on Wednesday 04 December 2019 in Lomé a meeting with all those involved in the insurance chain.
Lifting the veil on the theme around insurance and all that surrounds it, this is the objective set by the Togolese Federation of Insurance Insurers (FETAC) by organizing this 04 December at the Togolese Center of Exhibitions and Fairs de Lomé Togo 2000 the 1st edition of the insurance consumer day.
This first edition aims to popularize insurance in order to raise awareness about the merits of an insurance company but also to train and encourage insurance consumers to use a broker or an insurer.
Following the various themes developed during this 1st edition of the insurance consumer day, namely: Role and importance of insurance, different types of insurance or distributors of insurance products, it appears that the advantage is that by requiring the services of a consulting insurer, the consumer has the product adapted to his need at a lower cost.
In addition, with a consultant insurer, when a problem arises, it is up to the consultant insurer to defend the consumer’s interests with the insurance company.
For José Symenouh, boss of the Togolese Federation of Insurance Insurers (FETAC), “The risk is permanent. So taking out insurance is not money thrown out the window”.
During this meeting a tripartite agreement was signed between the Togolese Federation of FETAC Consulting Insurers, the National COUNCIL of Newspaper Owners, the Togolese Association of Consumers ATC and the Togolese League of Consumers LTC.
According to the president of CONAPP “The world of insurance is unknown to our populations. Training, informing, educating, raising awareness; this is among other things the roles that are vested in journalists that we are. This is the reason why we accepted this partnership which leads us to go to the insurance school and to make sure that the entire Togolese population can understand what insurance is. ”
