Insurance Council Of New Zealand Te Kāhui Inihua O Aotearoa(Icnz)

Since 1895, The Insurance Council of New Zealand Te Kāhui Inihua o Aotearoa (ICNZ) has played an active role in representing the general (not health and life) insurance industry, informing and educating consumers about key insurance issues and risks. Our mission is to promote and shape a responsive and sustainable insurance industry to safeguard New Zealand, and adhere to the Fair Insurance Code. ICNZ’s te reo name – Te Kāhui Inihua o Aotearoa – translates to ‘the insurance association of New Zealand’. In September 2019, the ICNZ launched the Insurance Fraud Bureau (IFB) - New Zealand’s first integrated initiative to target insurance fraud through detection and education. All of our members are also members of the IFB. We have almost 30 members who collectively write more than 95 percent of all fire and general insurance in New Zealand and insure over half a trillion dollars’ worth of New Zealand’s assets and liabilities.
