We take great care to ensure that our brokers who are under contract will operate to the highest professional standards. They earn their brokerage compensation as part of the insurance premium paid in the form of a commission.
Brokers have a duty to disclose their commission earnings on a given policy to their client if so requested. The standard commissions paid by Aviva are:

Contingent Profit Commissions (CPC)
As part of our contracts with brokers/agents, Aviva recognizes broker efforts through the potential payment of Contingent Profit Commissions. CPC payments are not guaranteed – and are based on volume, growth and the share of profitability of business submitted by the broker over an extended period – typically 2 years.
Profitability is measured by comparing premium revenue against expenses (e.g. claims costs, broker commissions, underwriting expenses and any other administrative costs).
Between 2017 to 2019, Aviva paid profit commissions of 1.5% of total written premium.
Other Services
A small number of Aviva brokers carry out additional services on our behalf. These may include data entry, processing claims payments and conducting site surveys. This additional work is compensated by payment of an agreed fee or commission.
Broker Ownership and Business Loans
Aviva, from time to time, has provided and will continue to provide financial support to a small number of brokers/agents for the purposes of succession continuity and business expansion. These may take the form of an equity position or loans. We expect these arrangements would in no way impact the advice given to customers but these ownership and financial arrangements should be disclosed by brokers to their clients.
From time to time, as part of normal business practice, we may invite individuals from broker offices to participate in entertainment events.
