IBANZ, the Insurance Brokers Association of New Zealand Inc., is a professional body at 28 Constellation Drive in Rosedale, on Auckland's North Shore. It represents fire and general insurance brokers, risk managers and consumers. It is not an insurer, and it sells no policies itself. It has more than 100 member firms, which place general insurance cover for about one million New Zealand clients.
The association advises members, government and consumer groups on insurance issues, and it works with government agencies on regulation. It runs continuing professional development, including webinars and presentations, and publishes the Covernote magazine. Its website has an FAQ and a Q&A forum for members. It also launched a report, Risk Impact, on the role of insurance brokers, and it has a presence in regions across New Zealand.
