Important Information
Tips for using On-Line Quoting:
- This facility is extremely competitive for standard accounts. While on-line quoting is not most effective for the harder to place accounts, Mercator excels at these tougher accounts. Please refer to the Account Guidelines below, and let us know if you need assistance with a non-standard account. You can submit accounts to us any way you choose.
- If you want alternative proposals from other markets please see the Alternative Proposals section below. We have the markets to meet your needs.
- If you have a question about an account, including whether it is a good fit for this on-line approach, please contact one of your Mercator Risk Services representatives by calling or emailing our office.
- If you do not want to enter an account please email or fax it to us. We will do it for you, and provide competitive terms quickly.
