About Us

The Insurance Brokers Association of Canada (IBAC) is the national voice of P&C (Property and Casualty) insurance brokers and an advocate for insurance consumers. IBAC represents the interests of both insurance brokers and their customers.
By promoting the value of the property and casualty insurance broker to Canadians, IBAC plays an important role in maintaining continuous dialogue among members and within the industry, ensuring that brokers stay well-informed on matters of interest to them and their clients.
As a central voice, monitoring the industry and bringing about important changes, IBAC aims to uphold insurance brokers’ standards, safeguarding their service and integrity, and ensuring that individual and commercial clients will have professional advice and freedom of choice in their selection of property and casualty insurance coverage.

How IBACtech works for brokers

As a non-profit federation of associations, IBAC does not itself build or even endorse specific technology or products. Instead, we liaise continuously with industry stakeholders– technology vendors, carriers, and other service providers – to encourage development that helps brokers to deliver their unique values of choice, advice and advocacy to Canadian Insurance consumers. It is IBACtech’s responsibility to communicate to brokers’ industry partners, the needs, priorities and challenges that changing technology brings to broker’s service delivery.
