Faster Claims Payment (FCP)

Faster Claims Payment (FCP)

Overview

FCP is one of the key milestones for the Future at Lloyd’s Blueprint Two programme, which is digitalising the Lloyd’s market to make it better, faster, and cheaper. FCP gives managing agents (MAs) greater flexibility in their capital management and provides all participants with real-time visibility over claims payments, as well as a reduction in associated account and transactions fees. 

What is FCP?

FCP is a transformative payment solution which allows Delegated Claims Administrators (DCAs) for Lloyd’s binding authority business to make payments on request, drawing on managing agent funds directly. This removes the need for loss funds and the associated cash calls for funding deficits. The solution leverages the Vitesse payment platform, paying claims in minutes instead of days and weeks - and in local currencies. 

FCP is now a “live” market service as a result of managing agents’ commitment to adopt and use the solution. LIMOSS is supporting the Future at Lloyd’s and Vitesse adoption teams to continue to onboard market participants to FCP in the coming months.

Market User Group (MUG)

What is the MUG?

The Market User Group (MUG) is a monthly meeting where operational level attendees from MAs, Brokers and DCAs are encouraged to share best practice, prioritise change requests and raise issues for the strategic Claims Steering Group. MUG takes place on the 3rd Thursday of each month.

The MUG is only open to live, active users for the purpose of discussing FCP usage. Whilst not part of the adoption process, suggestions for improving the on-boarding process can be raised.

The full Terms of Reference for the MUG are available to invited organisations.

Who can join the MUG?

Organisations in the following groups can ask to be invited to the MUG:

  • “FCP Live” MAs
  • “FCP Ready” DCAs
  • “FCP Ready” Brokers

Definitions of each category can be found in the relevant MA, DCA, or Broker sections on this page.

Attendees are welcome from the following areas:

  • Placing teams: Ensuring the clauses and details are correct on the binder wordings and ensuring whether read access to the Vitesse platform is required
  • Placing technicians: Responsible for ensuring DCOM is correct and up to date – including how to get MI reporting out of DCOM for FCP binders
  • Finance teams: Responsible for ensuring the bordereaux are showing as non-cash on relevant ledgers
  • Operations:  Responsible for overall performance and business oversight of end-to-end processes
  • Claims: Processing of individual claims and managing claims processes
  • IT: Ensuring integration between their organisation’s IT services and FCP portal
  • Change teams: Ensuring successful delivery of new processes and ways of working

How do I request a MUG invite?

If your organisation falls into one of the categories listed above (FCP Live MA, FCP Ready DCA, FCP Ready Broker), you can request an invite to the MUG.

To keep the MUG at a manageable size, it may not be possible for all organisations to join immediately.

What if I can’t make the meetings but still want to keep up with the MUG?

If you would prefer to just receive the minutes and other products from the MUG sessions, please request to be added to the ‘FCP MUG Mailing List’.
