保險代理人是指代表保險公司的代理人，而在香港或從香港就保險合約提供意見或安排該等合約的人。

保險代理人必須同時獲保險公司委任成為代表並且須向香港保險業聯會轄下的保險代理登記委員會登記，方可以從事保險業務。

在現有的制度之下：

1) 保險代理人，他們的負責人及業務代表受到**保險代理登記委員會及其管理守則審慎的規管。登記委員會有權對向其登記的保險代理人、其負責人或業務代表執行紀律處分。

2) 保險代理人受他們所代理的保險公司所監察。保險公司有權向其代理人進行核數。

3)根據保險公司法例第六十八條，保險公司必須為代理人對於客戶所作出的保險承諾及行為負責。

所以透過保險代理人(AGENT)購買保險，可以令你加倍安心。一來保險代理人受不同的制度監察及規管，大大提升保險代理人的專業資格與商業操守。二來，因為保險代理人代表保險公司洽談保險合約。 除了可以利用保險公司資源來提高效率，保險公司更需要為代理人所作出的承諾負責，無疑令到客戶得到多一份的保障。

**保 險 代 理 登 記 委 員 會 備存 一 份 獲 委 任 的保 險 代 理 人 的 登 記 冊 ， 以 及 一 份 保 險 代 理 人 的 負 責 人 和 業 務 代 表 的 附 屬 登 記 冊。如 果 你 想 查 證 保 險 代 理 人、 他 們 的 負 責 人 及 業 務 代 表 是 否 已 經 正 式 登 記 ，可 分 別 查 閱 這 些 登 記冊 及 附 屬 登 記 冊 。 公 眾人 士 可 到香 港 保 險 業 聯 會 網 頁 查 閱 這 些 登 記 冊 ， 網 址 是 http://www.hkfi.org.hk。**

保險經紀(Brokers)

保險經紀是指作為保單持有人或有意購買保單的人的代表。他們的身分是完全地獨立。目前在自律規管制度之下，保險經紀可以申請成為其中一間獲保險監理署認可的保險經紀團體的成員並受該團體規管。

如何選擇 保險中介人

如果你在觀看這一頁，那麼你一定會很謹慎地選擇一個合適的保險中介人為你服務。

時至今日，風險管理經已是公司運作中不可或缺的一環。找到一個可以信賴的保險中介人可以減輕決策者在風險管理方面的負擔。一個值得信賴的中介人，必須具備以下的條件：

穩健

客戶應該選擇一些比較歷史悠久而且財務穩健的保險中介人。以免因為某些中介人公司突然倒閉而蒙受損失。

高透明度

客戶有權知道報價單上的保險條款是由那一家保險公司承保的。一個專業的中介人，一定會在報價單上列名保險公司與及保單條款的詳細資料。

專業知識

作為一個專業的保險中介人，對於保單內容以及風險因素必定要有詳盡、仔細的了解。客戶應當對其中介人詳細的提問，方能夠分辨出普通營業員與及專業顧問的差別。

保險公司

選擇保險中介人固然重要，不過更重要的還是中介人所使用的保險公司。因為客戶的保險始終是由保險公司所承保和理賠的。
