The Insurance Fraud Bureau (IFB) is a not-for-profit organisation at the heart of the UK’s fight against insurance fraud. It acts as a central intelligence hub for industry members to share intelligence to help detect and disrupt fraud networks. IFB investigators work alongside police forces, regulators and industry watchdogs to build evidence and support enforcement.

 

Since its inception in 2006, the IFB’s investigations have helped to secure over 1,300 arrests and over 690 convictions (totalling more than 620 custodial years in prison).

 

The IFB regularly runs awareness campaigns to help the public spot signs of insurance scams and encourages the public to report evidence of insurance fraud to its CheatLine.

 

We’re delighted to be joining the Pet & Equine Insurance Association (PEIA) as an honorary member and are committed to collaborating with the Pet & Equine sector to tackling the growing threat of fraud that is emerging. Making cross‑industry collaboration and a greater understanding of the fraud issues a priority, we look forward to supporting PEIA’s work by contributing to important discussions and sharing our fraud insights, best practice and expertise, helping the membership awareness and capability to manage, detect and prevent the fraud threats that exist.
