Insuranceopedia Explains Accommodation Line
Like in other industries, some clients are valued more than others. This may be due to their significant contribution to the business or their long-standing relationship with the company. The same applies in the insurance industry, where certain clients receive perks and privileges not offered to others.
If a person is considered a valued policyholder, they may request to modify their policy through a broker. This modification could add coverage to the policy. If the broker successfully arranges the change with the insurance company, they receive a larger commission.
