Ultimately, the purpose of insurance is a clear and effective claims outcome. At BankServe, we act swiftly to understand the nature of a loss and translate it into recoverable coverage under a lender’s contingent insurance programs. Through our extensive contacts across the London and international markets, we work closely with underwriters and brokers worldwide to negotiate, settle and collect claims efficiently, achieving outcomes that protect lenders’ interests while supporting constructive resolutions with owners and operators.
We provide specialized insurance solutions designed to mitigate the inherently high-risk nature of shipping and offshore operations, addressing environmental, technical and liability exposures.
In parallel, we support financing structures for large-scale investments, ensuring that risk transfer arrangements align with lenders’ requirements and contribute to long-term financial stability for both financiers and operators.
We cultivate a strong team culture where cross-functional collaboration drives alignment and success. We work closely with related BMS teams to bring you the best possible outcomes.
We understand each client’s requirements and risk profiles, and take pride in providing highly personalized solutions. Collaboration is key - by combining our strengths and sharing insights, we’ve achieved remarkable results together.
