Multinational pooling enables companies with personnel in multiple countries to combine all of their insured risk together, in order to reduce premiums and ease administration. Multinational pooling also enables clients to avoid issues like costly minimum premiums and underwriting restrictions based on small groups of employees in specific countries.

Bellwood Prestbury is an independent international insurance expert. As such we are able to compare all the multinational pooling networks to find the most effective for your geographic spread, your benefits coverage, and your specific personnel profile.

Which companies can benefit from multinational pooling?

Any multinational with subsidiary companies in two or more countries offering insurance or employee benefits packages may be able to benefit from multinational pooling. In particular, premium and administrative savings can be made:

  • If you have employees spread across numerous countries, each with its own insurance and benefit schemes
  • If you have geographically mobile executives who regularly change their country of residence
  • If you have a small number of employees in some territories, which means that you have lower income limits on personal underwriting for cover

The advantages of multinational pooling schemes

Utilising multinational pooling schemes enables us to improve risk/cost ratios, while reducing the administrative burden. For example, for one client, moving cover from individual local schemes to a multinational pooling arrangement removed the need for most employees to be individually underwritten, reducing premiums. In another case, an annual multinational pooling dividend – a rebate based on a low claims year – amounted to tens of thousands of pounds.
