IPDIS - Insurance Product Information Document and NIPS Insurance Product Information Document
IPIDS
Purchasing insurance products can sometimes be a complex task for consumers. That’s why “IPIDs” and “NIPs” – crucial documents – exist to ensure that consumers are well informed about the insurance products they are buying. A IPID, or Insurance Product Information Document, is a standardised document that describes the main information about an insurance product, from cover to terms and conditions. An IPN, on the other hand, refers to a Prior Information Notice.
By understanding these terms and concepts, consumers can make more informed decisions about which insurance products to buy, thus safeguarding their financial well-being.
