VIPR joins FASE, to strengthen the European MGA market

Across the European continent, the Managing General Agents are demonstrating that specialisation, agility, and data-driven underwriting are not emerging trends. They are the new standard. MGAs now account for a significant and growing share of insurance distribution in European markets, with capacity providers increasingly recognising their ability to access niche risks, serve underserved segments, and drive innovation at speed. In this environment, the infrastructure that supports MGAs matters more than ever.

Data quality, bordereaux management, regulatory compliance, and real-time reporting are not back-office concerns, they are strategic capabilities that determine whether an MGA can scale, retain capacity, and operate with confidence in competitive markets. It is against this backdrop that VIPR is proud to announce its membership of FASE – the first pan-European federation representing the interests of Managing General Agents across Europe, the EEA, the UK, and beyond. 

FASE brings together MGA associations, operators, capacity providers, and service partners with a shared mandate: to build a stronger, more cohesive, and better-represented European MGA market. By providing a common voice for MGAs across multiple jurisdictions, FASE plays a critical role in shaping regulatory dialogue, facilitating cross-border business, and connecting the organisations and individuals who are defining the future of European insurance distribution.

VIPR has spent almost two decades building technology that solves the hardest data problems in delegated authority insurance. From submission to distribution of delegated authority data, VIPR’s platforms are purpose-built for MGAs, carriers, and brokers to navigate their daily data challenges. Our footprint spans the UK, the Lloyd’s Market, North America, and increasingly continental European markets, where program business is growing and where the demand for robust, scalable delegated authority technology has never been increasing. With the largest community of users utilising VIPR's technology to solve their submission process, joining FASE is a logical and strategic step.

It connects VIPR directly with the European MGA community at the moment when that community is maturing rapidly, moving from fragmented national markets toward a more coordinated, cross-border model of operation. As a FASE member, VIPR will contribute its expertise in data infrastructure, operational efficiency, and technology strategy to conversations that shape the long-term development and goals of European MGA operations. 

“Europe’s MGA sector is one of the most dynamic and strategically significant parts of the global insurance market. The growth we are seeing – in the number of MGAs, the volume of premium they manage, and the sophistication of their operations – is remarkable. Becoming a member of FASE reflects our commitment to this community – not just as a technology provider, but as a long-term partner invested in its success. We look forward to contributing our expertise, our platform capabilities, and our voice to shaping a more connected, data-driven European MGA market.” Paul Templar, CEO, VIPR

VIPR’s membership of FASE marks the beginning of a deeper commitment to the European MGA market. We look forward to participating in FASE’s events, contributing to its working groups, and collaborating with fellow members to address the shared challenges and opportunities facing MGAs across the continent.
