From July 1, Shanghai citizens can acquire the information of the insurance
salesperson, including name, insurance company served and the historical award
and punishment record, only by dialing the number 62077206 to input the
professional certificate number. As one of the important projects in the
construction of credit systems in Shanghai, Individual Profession Credit
Information System for Insurance Salespersons in Shanghai was opened to the
public finally after two years of preparation. It is learned that it is the
first time for a city to establish a special credit system for insurance
salespersons and integrate such credit system into the social associated inquiry
system for credits.
It is introduced that 17 life insurance companies has participated in this
system at present. For insurance salespersons, whether to provide personal
profession information is completely up to their own willingness. However, up to
the 25th day of last month, 29385 insurance salespersons signed "Letter of
Undertaking for Creditable Services" with their companies, authorizing the
company to open their personal information and profession credit information to
Shanghai Social Associated Inquiry System for Credits. The proportion of the
salespersons signed the "Letter" reached to over 90%.
Although the personal profession credit information system for insurance
salespersons is only applicable to life insurance salespersons, with the gradual
perfection of this system, more information, such as insurance company, broker,
senior management and policyholder, will be recorded in the system. Furthermore,
a layered coverall insurance credit system will be finally formed in Shanghai
after several years.
